The Bluffs are one of the very few new condo developments in Carlsbad in recent years. (there are more in the works, though - Bluwater Crossing Live-Work Lofts for one). While there have been several new communities of detached homes (La Costa Ridge, La Costa Greens, Bressi Ranch), given the sizes of these homes the price points are far beyond many buyers ($800,000 and up).
The Bluffs are fully built out now and a limited number of townhomes remain. But the great news is the pricing, and the willingness of the builder to consider offers, as opposed to set list prices as you usually see in new developments. Condo fees are very reasonable by Carlsbad standards ($195/month) and there is a swimming pool, spa, and club house. Unlike many new developments, there are NO Mello Roo fees.

New Construction Homes at The Bluffs at the Lagoon on Carlsbad
Best of all a number of units have lagoon views and some even offer some views of the ocean. The freeway is near so there may be some noise with some units depending on location and orientation, but you are very close to some of the nicest beaches in Carlsbad as well as Carlsbad Village.
There are some Plan 2, Plan 3 and Plan 5 units still available, as well as a select few with direct lagoon views (Plan 1). Pricing, to my mind in this market is very favorable and less than when first released: Plan 2 units from $599,900 (1738 SF + storage/bonus room), Plan 3 units from $509,900 (1842 SF), Plan 1 units (lagoon views, 2800 SF, from $839,000), and Plan 5 units *2115 SF from $579,900).
I just visited the Plan 2 and 3 unites with some clients yesterday and was again impressed with what you get for the money. If you want more information or would like to take a visit, feel free to let me know. With today's financing, if you are seeking a new Carlsbad condo, this could be it.
