Lots of folks own RVs, in various sizes and shapes, and for a variety of reasons. But if you are moving into a new home or condo in some communities including Carlsbad you may have a problem.
So what are you going to do about that RV?
In some neighborhoods having an RV is not an issue, provided you can park it off the street, especially if it is a smaller one. On-street parking is usually allowed for a limited period of time but not round the clock. But in some communities RVS are not allowed to be parked in front of the home or in the drive (and many homes don't have the space to begin with). And like it or not there are some folks who do not want to look at RVs parked on the street or in people's yards. So if it is not allowed you must make other arrangements.
Fortunately, a number of Carlsbad subdivisions provide secure parking nearby for residents who own RVs. Such parking is usually limited and on a first come first serve basis. And there may be a charge.
As a couple of examples, Bressi Ranch and Rancho Carrillo, two large master planned communities in Carlsbad, offer these services, as do many other communities. But some do not.

If you are an RV owner looking at housing in Carlsbad and other communities you will want to check on the availability of parking, unless you already have made arrangements to keep your RV nearby. The CC & Rs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) for the subdivision or complex usually lay out the rules about RVs. It is smart to check these are part of your due diligence so you don't make assumptions. You might regret them adn then it's too late.

Many buyers in the San Diego area are hoping for big views when purchasing a home.
One, view homes generally cost more. You can't easily put a price tag on it, but typically comparable homes with views versus those without will enjoy a bigger price tag. How much depends on the view and what someone is willing to pay. Ocean views seem to be the priciest, and the closer you are to that beautiful blue sea the more costly. Could be a few hundred thousand dollars or more for a terrific ocean view versus none. Ocean frontage view can add millions.
The second price, however, for some view homes is the sun. And, more accurately, sun damage. This is especially true of our western-facing homes which have, as one would hope, fabulous sunset views over the ocean. Easterly facing homes, however, can get some pretty intense sunlight, too.
Some of these observations about large windows and sun might be rather obvious, and one would hope that folks who are buying these views might give it some thought, and prepare themselves to spend the money to protect their furnishings and art work, and deal with the heat and light issues they will inherit. I suspect many do not give it much consideration, or even think about it. They should.
