In the 20th century, Oceanside was a beach town devoted to activities on a 6-mile stretch of beaches. After 1970, the main focus[citation needed] of Oceanside was suburban development and a choice for newcomers to move into then relatively affordable housing. Oceanside continues to be known for the value and appreciation as a vacation home market.
