If you are contemplating moving to the Carlsbad area and are interested in new construction, or if your interest is simply learning more about master planned communities as an alternative for your next home, you might want to visit my community profile on La Costa Ridge.

La Costa Ridge is the newest master planned community in the south Carlsbad area known as La Costa, located on the highest hill with dramatic views in all directions. While still being built, there are currently a number of homes for sale in La Costa Ridge. 

Each of the 4 builders has model homes to explore, and some of the completed homes are ready for occupancy. You can also buy pre-construction which can provide some opportunities for site selection and customization depending on the builder options.

Are you considering a move to the Carlsbad area?

La Costa Greens is a new master planned community that offers a range of housing in 6 neighborhoods built by 4 well-known area builders.

Take a look at the community profile and learn more about homes for sale, amenities (including The Presidio, the residents' private club) and more.

If I can answer questions about the area, the housing market, relocation, or if you are a first time buyer, please let me know. Fans of Coastal San Diego has more information on life here in "paradise."

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

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.

I am starting to create a series on some of the neighborhoods in the area where I live and work. These will include information about the housing, things to do, some area photos, and other bits if information. I will also include a short virtual tour.

I hope you will enjoy these posts on the wonderful neighborhoods here along the coast.

Here a link to my first neighborhood post on La Costa - the area of Carlsbad (in the south) where I live. If I can provide more information, just let me know.

Enjoy!

I am trying out some new software that creates photo tours of neighborhoods and homes I have listed, using my own photos.

Here is a BRIEF tour of Carlsbad - my first - so the photos need to be improved. Let me know what you think of this for marketing purposes either for listings OR for sharing information with people relocating to the area. I can create longer tours as well, plus change the music and the manner in which the camera moves.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
