carlsbad ca homes for sale: Ways To make The Most Of Your Carlsbad Backdyard Space - 05/31/15 05:54 AM
An anthropological UCLA study, described in the book “Life at Home in the Twenty-First Century,” blames our fascination with digital devices — tablets, computers, televisions, games — for keeping us cooped up. The UCLA research participants spent less than half an hour each week in their outdoor space. And these were Californians.
So this summer let’s make a pledge to pay more than lip service to Carlsbad outdoor living so we can be happier, create lasting memories, and generally take advantage of what home has to offer.

carlsbad ca homes for sale: Carlsbad Real Estate Size Trend Might Reverse…Eventually - 05/13/15 06:55 AM
