Suburban neighborhoods, affluent communities and resorts.
Carlsbad’s 92009 zip code covers the southeast quadrant of Carlsbad, and has the most-recently built master-planned communities of La Costa Valley, La Costa Greens, La Costa Ridge, La Costa Oaks, Rancho Carrillo, and Bressi Ranch. Carlsbad CA real estate is characterized by quiet residential streets and local businesses that give it a self-contained, small-town feel. La Costa is known for the luxurious Omni La Costa Resort & Spa and the famous faces who’ve lived or vacationed there, and this area’s development mainly followed the establishment of the La Costa Resort in 1965. The first spa resort in the United States, La Costa set the tone for the affluent and refined community that has developed in the area surrounding it.
Real estate within 92009 includes spacious single-family homes on large parcels, upscale apartments and golf course-fronting gated condominiums. At the high end of the market, there are breathtaking gated estates with spectacular views over hillsides and out to the ocean or views overlooking Batiquitos Lagoon and the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa.
La Costa and Bressi Ranch comprise an idyllic Southern Californian setting, combining quiet residential neighborhoods with spectacular views and a comfortable coastal climate. Once a favored hangout of the legendary Rat Pack, La Costa is still often frequented by Hollywood stars, many of whom have owned property in the region. The amenities it offers are exceptional, including golf and tennis facilities, shops and restaurants, and the world-class La Costa Resort. Homes here are within a few miles of the beach and Carlsbad’s many other attractions.
