Windsong Palms is a gated community a short distance from the freeway access, and perhaps ¼ miles to the ocean as the crow flies; walking is not a straight line given the Aqua Hedionda Lagoon (the only Carlsbad lagoon allowing watercraft) and the train tracks, and thus takes perhaps 15-20 minutes.

The complex was built in the mid 1980s and is town-house style, with 72 units. The units all surround pleasant green space, common areas and lush vegetation, with a community pool and spa. HOA fees are around $336 per month, and children in Windsong Palms attend the Carlsbad schools.

Currently there are only 2 Carlsbad homes for sale at Windsong Palms – one, a 1600 SF 2 bedroom 2 bath unit priced at $479,900, the other a 2 bedroom 2.5 bath unit with 1436 SF and priced at $436,000. One unit just went under contract. Only 4 units have come on the market and sold in the last year, at an average price of $454,750.
