An upscale town featuring spectacular homes and incredible ocean views, Olivenhain literally means "Olive Grove" in German, today nurseries remind one of Olivenhain's agricultural past. Slowly this beacon of the past is being replaced with single family homes that range from $500,000 to $5 million and up. Today 60,000 residents call Olivenhain their home.

Olivenhain Homeowners enjoy excellent schools. Both of these local schools have scored way above average on the State tests.
