Thinking About Moving to Southern California?

Are you thinking about moving to Southern California?

Here's a marketing piece on Carlsbad (where I live) to help you learn more about the area's housing, restaurants, shppoing, beaches and more. I hope you will enjoy it. Just click on the surfboard and surf away.

And if you have some feedback, I would love to hear it.

BTW - If you are interested in other areas of  San Diego, let me know and I will share more information about them and even provide some pics.

Neighborhood Series - Aviara, in Carlsbad

Jan. 29, 2007
Categorized in: Neighborhoods

I wrote another post in my neighborhood series on Aviara, in Carlsbad, that may appeal to you if you are searching for a home in the area.

Aviara has a very different look and feel than other areas of Carlsbad, such as La Costa (my previous post). Anchored by the Four Seasons Aviara Resort, it offers a resort-like feel and is almost exclusively residential.

Visit my post on ActiveRain for more details and some great photos and a virtual tour of Carlsbad.
