If the La Costa area appeals to you, from what you have heard and perhaps read here, there are a number of complexes offering a variety of homes, with varying prices, styles, and size. There are a number of gated communities, although not so much as in Aviara, as well as homes along a number of streets that don't belong to a particular "complex" or subdivision. This is only a partial list. Some complexes are quite small with only a dozen or so homes while others number in the hundreds.

Alga Hills - large hilly neighborhood, mix of housing, ungated

The Fairways - gated, detached, many homes fronting the hill above the golf course

The Jockey Club - upscale, gated, attached town homes on the golf course (high $800s and $900s)

La Costa Greens - large new construction subdivision by 5 builders, many homes with views of the ocean and La Costa, ungated ($700s to over a million)

La Costa Ridge - still under construction, atop the hill above La Costa, most homes start around $1 million

Brookfield - good sized neighborhood of detached homes, with community pools, tot lots, ungated (under $700K for the most part with some under $600K)

La Costa Estates - larger, hilltop homes of varying styles, most $1 million or more

La Costa Oaks - another recently built subdivision, ungated

Sea Pointe Tennis Club - ungated, attached homes with tennis (most under $500K)

Plaza Bonita - small gated complex of town homes, some with golf course views

Plaza de las Flores - another small gated complex of attached town homes along the golf course

Some of the well-known streets are Almaden, Alicante, El Fuerte, Estrella de Mar, Luciernaga, Corintia, Argonauta, and Alga
