Carlsbad Waterfront Homes in Coastal North San Diego County - Carlsbad California

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty of California, Inc. CA DRE #01490977

Oceanfront housing at Terramar in Carlsbad California - Jeff DowlerBuyers interested in Carlsbad waterfront homes have a number of options.

But it's important to realize that Carlsbad actually has few true waterfront homes because the coast road/historic Route 101/Carlsbad Boulevard runs close to the coastline and many water view properties are actually east of this road. 

The other issue is the state park - Carlsbad State beach - which is west of the coastal road and takes up a substantial bit of coastline from the southern-most border (by Encinitas) to just past Palomar Airport Road. 

That said, there are a number of homes right along the coast road which have terrific views, and a few areas - Terramar and in Carlsbad Village - where you can buy true Carlsbad oceanfront property. 

Oceanfront housing in Carlsbad Village California - Jeff DowlerAs of this writing there are 2 Carlsbad waterfront homes (detached) and 2 other oceanview properties right along the coast road with terrific views. These homes are priced from $2.499 million to $10.8 million; one is a new construction property that is nearing completion in the $3.8 to $4.2 million range (a significant drop from prior pricing). 

Folks interested in waterfront condos (attached homes) have a few possibilities, but again, several are on the east side of the coast road or along the east side of Ocean (near the Village)  but with amazing view. Currently there are 6 such condos, priced from $950K (range price $950K to $1.05 million - a penthouse unit on the coast road with amazing views) to the ult in luxury - a 5800 SF 3 bedroom 4 bath home at the ocean's edge in Carlsbad Village on Ocean for $9.29 million.

Jeff as you know from comments that I have made on your posts before I would love to own Ocean Front Property, but you would never catch me buying any on the edge of a cliff like those on the first picture.  You know how I feel about heights, and I don't have and desire to be in a house or Condo falling off a cliff into the Ocean ........ LOL

I just love the cliffs on your beaches! I can't et over that. I know. I'm probably starting to sound like a broken record. Every time I read your posts, I zero in on your coastal pictures. I guess if you want me to leave more intelligent comments, you'll have to leave out the awesome pictures =P

Jeff - I am always so fascinated by the beautiful coastline in San Diego.  It would be spectacular to own a home on the cliffs with those incredible views.

I sure wouldn't complain if I had oceanfront property ( even an ocean front view would be cool with access to the beach. How did I ever get so far inland for someone that went to the beach every week like clockwork. I actually took a day off and loved having my cd player ( at the time) and listened to music as I must have walked miles on end  dreaming and thinking and just enjoying the most special place on earth to me. Now I am out of shape and need to get back to my old routine. I wonder if I ever will?

Beautiful coastline ...  I remember how big (wide) the beaches in Lanikai HI were when I was growing up. Now there's a little strip left. ;-(

George - Ha ha. Yep, I remember how you are about heights. I have to admit that while some of the views can be amazing, certain homes look a bit precarious.

Lisa - your comments are always intelligent. :) And I don't mind if you focus on the beautiful pics - that's what they are for

Donna - some are absolutely breathtaking.

William - just make a pact with yourself to do so. But I know what you mean - I live barely 2 miles from the beach and don't get there nearly enough, although I drive along it often when showing property.

Susie - one thing we now for sure, the coastline IS disappearing. It's just a matter of time.
