When the growth moratorium was lifted by the City of Carlsbad in the late 1980s developers looked to South Carlsbad as an unpolished coastal jewel. Nestled between the Batiquitos Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean, costal South Carlsbad offers newer, upscale developments in a convenient beach-close arrangement.

South Carlsbad is composed of many distinct developments and newer villages which share their own resident-only community amenities such as pool, spa, tennis courts and more!

Housing opportunities are many, with an abundance of mid to high-end homes and condominiums. Carlsbad Ranch, built by Centex, is one of the most desirable areas to live in this area, with grand homes and separate guest quarters on lots measuring a minimum of ½ acre
		The area is noteably family-friendly with a beautiful and popular state beach offering swimming, surfing, diving and fishing. The nearby bluff-top campground is especially popular in summer. South Carlsbad is also known for its excellent schools, sports programs and recreational facilities.
