About Thunderbird West

Thunderbird West is the MLS name for single-family homes in Dana Point, ZIP 92629, on both sides of Golden Lantern: Acapulco Drive and Christina Drive to the west, and Marina Vista Drive, Mesa Vista Drive, Sea Bright Drive and Ocean Hill Drive on the hill to the east. Most of the homes went up from 1968 to 1972, and most have about 1,400 to 2,100 square feet on lots of about 5,900 to 7,400 square feet. About 45 percent of the homes sold through the MLS record a view.

The MLS also files sales on the eastern streets under Thunderbird Capistrano, so go by the tract on the title report rather than the label. The city zones the home lots on these streets RSF 7, single-family at up to seven homes per acre, and its homeowner association map draws no association boundary over them. Thunderbird Park, a city park on Ocean Hill Drive, has ocean views, a playground, picnic tables, barbecues, a ball field and a basketball court.
