About the Area

Living in Carlsbad

Carlsbad is a coastal city in North County with about seven miles of beaches and three lagoons: Buena Vista, Agua Hedionda and Batiquitos. Carlsbad Village, near the sand, is the walkable center, with cafes, shops and a train station.

Inland, the city is mostly planned neighborhoods such as La Costa, Aviara, Bressi Ranch and Calavera Hills. LEGOLAND California and The Flower Fields, which bloom each spring, draw visitors, while residents use the beaches, the lagoon trails and a long list of parks.

Homes
Beach cottages and condos near the Village, and single-family homes in planned neighborhoods inland, many with HOAs.
Schools
Carlsbad Unified serves most of the city. Parts of La Costa are in Encinitas Union, San Dieguito Union High or San Marcos Unified, so check the district for a specific address.
Getting around
Interstate 5 runs the length of the city and Highway 78 its northern edge. The Coaster stops at Carlsbad Village and Poinsettia.
