Carlsbad buyers who want new construction, and who also would like to take advantage of the $10,000 new home tax credit in California, has some terrific options. The newest opportunity, now selling, is at CopperWood.
The La Costa area of Carlsbad, anchored by the famed La Costa Resort and Spa, has offered a number of new home opportunities in recent years, including La Costa Ridge, La Costa Greens, and La Costa Oaks.

La Costa - A Great Residential Community in South Carlsbad
CopperWood is located on the west side of Rancho Santa Fe Road adjacent to the existing La Oaks development, just a short distance from the Henry's Fresh Food Market, the CVS, a couple of restaurants and several other stores. You are about 15 - 20 minutes to the Carlsbad and Encinitas beaches.
Some things to know:
A top selling point is that children will attend the top-ranked Encinitas Schools - Encinitas Union and San Dieguito Union High School districts (you can check School Digger or Great Schools for more information).
You can buy a brand new home over 3000 SF for less than $250/SF - practically unheard of in our area even with the price shifts we have seen
Only 53 homes will be built, keeping the community small
Residents will have access to a private club, The Oaks Club, with competition-sized swimming pool, wading pool, picnic and BBQ areas, plus an exercise facility, gathering room and gourmet catering kitchen
An incentive of $10K is available if you use a preferred lender - this can be used for flooring, upgrades or closing costs.
You can qualify for the $10,000 new home buyers credit in California, and, if you are a first time buyer, the first time home buyers credit of up to $8000
There are two Carlsbad homes in Phase One still available, priced at $815,190 and $796,000 with 8 homes (1 has been reserved) in Phase Two just released. Homes, all two-story but some with downstairs master bedrooms, range in size from 3,189 SF up to 3688 SF, with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths up to 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. Styles include Tuscan, Santa Barbara and Spanish. Prices in the latest release are from $754,490 to $810,990, landscaping not included. Some homes offer dramatic La Costa Canyon and distant ocean views.
If I can provide more information or arrange a personal tour, please let me know.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
It was just announced TODAY that JULY 2 is the last day to fax applications for the $10,000 new home buyer tax credit in California since they have reached the limit.

Hi Jeff, a wonderful post and the only thing here that troubles me is that we are in a water crunch and yet we continue to see new permits to build more. At some point we must either declare that the water shortage is a ruse or we must put a moratorium on the new hook ups.
