La Costa - A Great Neighborhood in Carlsbad, CA

Shopping options abound just a few miles away along El Camino Real in Carlsbad or in San Marcos along San Marcos Boulevard. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy La Costa Resort and Spa, the Four Seasons Aviara Resort or the newest municipal golf course at The Crossings of Carlsbad.
There are plentiful dining options both in San Marcos (especially Restaurant Row - my fave is the Market St. Cafe) and along El Camino Real. And of course the beautiful Carlsbad and Encinitas beaches are only 15 minutes away. You can also enjoy the walking trails along the Batiquitos Lagoon in Aviara, Legoland, The Flower Fields, and other tourist attractions.

La Costa Meadowridge homes are attached condos and townhomes, with attached garages and small patios (for downstairs and townhome units). There are 350 homes that were built in 8 phases beginning in the early 1980. Homeowners have easy access to two swimming pools with hot tubs and several tennis courts.

Children attend the San Marcos Unified School District. HOA fees are in the $269 to $309 range but should be verified during the purchase process.
