Year-End 2018 Market Update for La Costa Valley in Carlsbad
La Costa Valley is one of the 4 La Costa Villages (also La Costa Greens, La Costa Ridge, and La Costa Oaks) in the La Costa area of South Carlsbad, and a popular master planned community along the Encinitas border.
Homes were built between 1998 – 2001 and range in size from approximately 2000 SF to over 4000 SF, typically offering 4 and 5 bedrooms.
There are over 1000 La Costa Valley detached single family homes (single and 2-story) on approximately 482 acres of rolling hills, about 4 miles inland from the Carlsbad beaches, and just east of El Camino Real.
Amenities in La Costa Valley include an elaborate trail system, a number of small neighborhood parks, the El Camino Creek Elementary School, a community church, a pre-school, and The Valley Club, a private residents’ facility (see photo ar right).
The Valley Club is one of the area’s best equipped and complete recreational multipurpose centers, with a pool, spa, wading pool, tennis courts, gourmet kitchen, fitness facility, meeting rooms, gazebo and barbecue areas.
