There is Carmel-by-the-Sea and then there is Carmel Point just across the city line to the south.

First, check your credit or your bank balance. Where you can buy depends on LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.Buyers in California have this dreamy idea of buying an oceanfront property with views of the ocean from every room, and a big deck on which to sit with a glass of wine and watch the sunset in...
