Carlsbad has a reputation as a golfing community, and many buyers considering the Carlsbad real estate market for second/vacation homes, primary homes or for retirement express an interest in living on or very near one of the Carlsbad golf courses. While views or proximity to these venues is reasonably available, finding a direct frontage home is more difficult, and more expensive, depending on what you want in a new home.
There are 4 golf courses in Carlsbad that golfers can consider:
the La Costa Resort and Spa in La Costa (southeast Carlsbad),
The Four Seasons Aviara Resort (the Aivara residential area in South Carlsbad closer to the beaches)
the new municipal golf course that opened in the summer of 2007, The Crossings at Carlsbad
Rancho Carlsbad, a public course adjacent to the Rancho Carlsbad Seniors' Community.
GOLF COURSE FRONTAGE HOMES
THE CROSSINGS: Because of where The Crossings is located there are no frontage homes on this course. There are some properties that have distant views of this particular golf course.
RANCHO CARLSBAD - Rancho Carlsbad is adjacent to the residential community of Rancho Carlsbad, so while some homes are very near the actual course, none of them are direct frontage. Keep in mind that homes at Rancho Carlsbad are age-restricted (55+ plus); prices range from $235,000 to $499,000 for these manufactured homes which are 2 or 3 bedroom with 2 baths, and range in size from about 1340 SF to 2062 SF, all single level.
LA COSTA - Carlsbad buyers wanting to be on the course at La Costa have some options. Currently there are 2 frontage detached homes available with terrific views, priced at $997,000 and $2.3 million. Direct frontage detached homes are fairly uncommon and are usually at least $1 million and often need updating. There are 12 attached homes directly on the course (with varying views) ranging in price from $250,000 (1 bedroom condo) to a 3700 SF townhome range priced from $1.2 - $1.65 million.
AVIARA - primarily a resort residential area, Aviara currently has 7 golf course frontage detached homes for sale ranging in price from $1 million to 2.2 million (homes vary in size from around 3300 SF up to 4600 SF). There are only 2 attached homs currently on the market priced at $599,000 and $650,000 (1481 and 1663 SF respectively).

Hi Jeff, A very good local post with wonderful information. But I have a question. As localism takes bigger and bigger chucks of our efforts, do you think we in general we will comment less on these local posts? I suppose it doesn't matter as the articles will be found with greater frequency in Google.
