Carlsbad’s Quality of Life is Unmatched. Where else would you find a seaside community that is small enough to have village charm yet large enough to be a world-class business environment?

Carlsbad is a community with near-perfect weather and two world-class resorts. It supports economic development yet sets aside 40 percent of its land for open space. It has attracted an international theme park and has become the golf capital of the world. Carlsbad has a commuter train, great bus service and the busiest single-runway airport in the nation. A great place to live, with miles of beaches, a wide variety of housing options, terrific shopping, a world-class public library and excellent schools.

Where else but Carlsbad, California? Fortune Magazine rated Carlsbad as one of the nation’s five best places to retire. “An affordable Southern California dream lifestyle is still available in about one place: Carlsbad,” the magazine boasted in August, 1997. Fortune pointed out that our community has ample open space, a low crime rate, a near-perfect climate, smog-free ocean breezes, and is not in an earthquake fault zone. In 1999, Where to Retire Magazine rated Carlsbad among the best retirement towns in Southern California.

Carlsbad’s population has grown considerably as more and more people become acquainted with the area. In fact, the population has increased five-fold since 1960, but the city’s award-winning Growth Management Plan ensures that the city retains its small-town charm. Despite Fortune calling us a retirement haven, Carlsbad has a relatively young population, with a median age of 32, and 78 percent of residents under age 55.

    Easy. That’s what coming home should be. Easy and comfortable and peaceful. Easy to get to, easy to maintain, easy to just… be. This incredible top-floor condo is exactly that. If you are looking to spend your weekends mowing and weeding- this isn’t the home for you. But, if you are looking for a retreat that is light, bright and open, a home with a thoughtful layout that lives well and feels bigger than it’s square footage declares, a spot with picture perfect balconies and a built-in bar steps away to make that end of the day drink ...

    Open house 5/18 1-4. This newer 1800 sq. ft. open floor plan home, great for entertaining, offers three bedrooms and two full baths. It sits on a bucolic greenbelt with views of a small lake and is backed by three beautiful, mature liquid amber trees. Its after-market upgrades are many, including appliances, lighting, skylights, sunscreens on windows, extra tall cabinetry throughout, granite counters and vanity tops and specialty backsplashes, custom shower doors, LVT flooring and carpet, baseboards, crown molding throughout, ceiling fans, screened-in porch, additional porch on carport side. If you are preparing to downsize, and thinking you need to purge, it is not necessary; this house has oodles of storage throughout. Each secondary bedroom has two closets. There is additional storage in the kitchen, laundry room, master bath and closet, linen closets and the oversized kitchen island offering storage on both sides. Additionally, for those few days per year that the ocean breeze doesnt suffice, the A/C unit creates perfect comfort. There is also a large storage shed in the extended carport. Only a short distance from the ocean, this gated-community home offers a convenient location to beaches, shopping, restaurants, resorts, and easy access to the I-5 freeway. A bonus is that on some nights when the windows are open, you can hear the waves crashing on the shore. This is a 2016 unit (Property History is incorrect). Very different to older units for sale! Some say manufactured homes are better than stick-built these days because of the materials used and the fact that they
