Carlsbad

With nearly 300 days of sunshine each year and an average temperature in the 70s, it is no wonder why so many people want to call Carlsbad home. Mild year-round weather isn’t Carlsbad’s only wonderful quality. Carlsbad's residents are treated to a year round outdoor lifestyle - with seven miles of stunning beaches and coves, three ­graceful lagoons, 70 miles of hiking trails, and over 20 public parks. Carlsbad is home to miles of beautiful beaches, delightful shops, a highly acclaimed factory outlet, world-class resorts and golf courses, excellent restaurants, and LEGOLAND® California. All of these make Carlsbad a great place for a vacation as well as the perfect place to live. Carlsbad is also known for its famous Flower Fields, which bloom in early March through May.

 

What really brings the community of Carlsbad together is the coastal town center, Carlsbad Village, home to antique stores, boutiques, sidewalk cafés, and romantic beachfront sunsets with bustling streets of residents and tourists shopping at the local boutiques and dining at delicious eateries. Carlsbad Village has the charm of an old-fashioned beach town, with a mix of modern shops and award-winning restaurants sprinkled throughout. Looking for Target or Walmart? You won’t find big box retailers in Carlsbad Village because it’s a town that embraces its century old original character.

Carlsbad has been rated the best place to live by numerous magazines over the years for its beauty and beaches, and also for being a rising star as a tech hub. Tech giants like Viasat and Thermo Fisher Scientific call Carlsbad home, providing excellent job opportunities and help make Carlsbad a special place to live and work.  Carlsbad is definitely one of the prettiest and most desirable places to live - tucked quietly between San Diego and Orange County/Los Angeles.
