La Costa - Carlsbad

Opulent golf course views and upscale living just minutes from the ocean.

Welcome to La Costa

Opulent views and upscale living just minutes from the ocean.
 
Getting its start as a golf destination around 1965, La Costa has evolved into a thriving, upscale neighborhood. To this day, the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa attracts visitors from around the world. However, over the past few decades, this community has become primarily residential — catching the attention of many part- and full-time celebrity residents.
 
Locals consistently say that the two best aspects of living in La Costa are the views and the close proximity to the ocean. Hop on La Costa Avenue to quickly access both Batiquitos Beach (situated on Batiquitos Lagoon) and South Ponto Beach on the Pacific Ocean. When living in town, you’ll also be close to top area restaurants and stores.
 
La Costa features many different places to live. From single-family homes to townhomes and condos, it is easy to find the exact size and layout you desire. Currently, the average list price for single family homes in this community sits near $1.9M.


What to Love

  • Gorgeous views throughout the neighborhood
  • Minutes from the ocean
  • Plenty of spots to shop, dine, golf, and play tennis
 

People & Lifestyle

Both its golf culture and close proximity to the ocean make La Costa a more laid-back and relaxed part of the area. Whether you have one day or one week to dedicate to leisure, you can fill as much time as you want with activities such as tennis, golf, surfing, swimming, sunbathing, and more.
 
The community is particularly ideal for those seeking tranquility and privacy. Numerous homes have gated entries, and residential roads are never too busy. Although La Costa is set back from areas that are busier, there are plentiful things to do, see, and experience minutes from where you live.


Dining, Shopping & Entertainment

Another wonderful perk of living in La Costa is having plenty of exceptional places to eat and shop in each neighborhood. Nearby, there is a great mix of locally-owned establishments and top national chains.
 
Searching for a top-quality place to pick up some groceries? Gelson’s offers a wonderful selection of gourmet and organic products. Further up El Camino Real, you’ll find a number of fantastic local stores. Start your morning with a cup of coffee from La Costa Coffee Roasting, browse the fine jewelry selection at Gems of La Costa, and check out the stores at the Westbluff Plaza.
 
When you are ready to eat, enjoy restaurants that offer a wide range of cuisine. Resident favorites in La Costa include Tin Leaf Kitchen, Valerie’s Taco Shop, Thai Pasta, AlohaPokeBar, Bushfire Kitchen, Black Rail Kitchen + Bar, and Beach Plum Kitchen. No matter what you choose, you can’t go wrong.
