Carlsbad has a long and positive reputation as a retirement community, as a result of the weather, amenities, golf and other outdoor activities, and its beaches.
Carlsbad also has a number of 55+ communities as well as seniors apartments that cater to the burgeoning seniors populations. A center of activity in Carlsbad Village is the Carlsbad Seniors Center.
Located at 799 Pine Avenue just a few blocks from the heart of the village, the Seniors center provides a multitude of activities for seniors. There is ample parking for those who drive, but the center also provides transportation for folks who cannot get around on their own or do not own a car. Hours of the center are 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday.
The activities that are available are pretty impressive, and certainly what one would hope to see in any good sized community with a seniors population.
