“Henie Hills” was named after Olympic skater Sonja Henie and her brother Leif Henie who purchased property in Oceanside in 1943.

Most of the Henie Hills area has gorgeous views and is surrounded by the El Camino Country Club golf course.

The local community of Henie Hills has a very unique and fascinating history. Though regarded a newer development for Oceanside, it was actually built in 1939 after the Great Depression. And, at that time, one business woman saw a beautiful coast and a great chance: Sonja Henie.

As you may know, Henie was an Olympic skating medalist and movie star, and with her profits she made a decision to purchase about 1,600 acres of prime beach land. Though at first it was a retreat for family and friends, the area got so much “buzz” that Henie started to develop homes and sell them. It is interesting to note that the land where Tri-City Hospital and MiraCosta College are now situated was once a portion of the Henie’s land holdings.

Henie Hills in Oceanside has a remarkable location which is just minutes from golf, shopping, dining establishments, Highway 78 and the gorgeous Pacific Ocean. Within this community, you’ll get an incredible amount of choices and opportunities. Whether you are seeking a primary residence, a vacation home, or even an investment property, Henie Hills has a great deal to offer.
