Why Do People Want to Live in the The Summit?

 

The Summit homes were built beginning in the mid 1980s, and offer a variety of floor plans, the Carlsbad Schools, and close proximity to shopping, dining and a host of services in both Carlsbad and nearby Oceanside. A number of the homes have views of the nearby hills, backcountry, distant ocean, and sunsets!

These homes were popular when they were first built, and have remained so, with only a limited number sold in any given year; some of the residents are original owners! As noted above, some of the homes, especially on the highest points looking west, east and south, offer gorgeous views.

Jeff, my brother lives in Carlsbad.  Years a go I was calling that home in the early 70's.  Love the area.  When I visit California I always spend some time in North County and make it a point to surf, eat and take walks on the beach.

HI Jeff Dowler - Beautiful picture of the beach! It makes me homesick to see your posts and also Michael Jacobs market reports.  I don't think many know how reasonable the $700,000 price tag is for being so close to the beach.  Great report!

Hi Steven Nickens  - I keep hearing of more and more people who lived here, or have relatives living here.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, Broker, Tacoma Washington What a nice compliment! California is a very diverse state as I have learned from living here 11 years already. And there is more to discover!

I can understand why, knowing you lived here some years ago. I would have a hard time leaving myself. I imagine many do not realize that while $700K is a lot for a house in many areas of our country, here it is in the lower price range, at least for Carlsbad and further south. And getting within a few miles of the beach at this price is a bonus.
