Carlsbad New Homes for Sale at The Tides in South Carlsbad, CA - The Tides New Homes for Sale in Carlsbad

Carlsbad New Homes for Sale at The Tides in South Carlsbad, CA

 

Buyers looking for new homes in Carlsbad have yet another option – the new construction homes at The Tides in South Carlsbad.

 

Carlsbad new homes for sale at The Tides in South Carlsbad CAThe new homes at The Tides in Carlsbad are being built within .6 miles of the beach on a hill just east of the 5 freeway.

 

That means there may be some views from certain homes.

 

But it also means there is some noise from the freeway and also from Poinsettia, and major exit off the freeway.

 

These Carlsbad homes closest to the freeway will have some special noise abatements in place, with a large wall and triple-pane windows. The next few rows of homes will be somewhat shielded by other homes but there still will be noise (the noise levels are above the code requirement so nothing else needs to be done per code). As always it is critical to check this sort of thing out if noise may be an issue so you can decide for yourself.

 

Carlsbad new homes for sale at The Tides in South Carlsbad CAThere will be 25 homes in The Tides in Carlsbad:

 

  • All 2-story
  • 4 floorplans
  • 2408 SF to about 3009 SF
  • 3 - 4 Bedrooms and 2.5 – 4.5 baths

Some more good news! There are NO MELLO ROOS, which is rare in new home communities in Carlsbad, and HOA fees are estimated at $186/month.

 

The property tax rate is about 1.1%.

 

These new Carlsbad homes will have starting prices ranging from $646,516 to $744,033. There are currently 3 homes (each a different floor plan) ready to close escrow and move in in about 30 days.

 

I am happy to help you through the process and set up a tour for you at The Tides in Carlsbad, or explore some of the other Carlsbad homes for sale in the links below.

New Homes for Sale at Driftwood in Carlsbad CA 92011

New Homes for Sale at Driftwood in Carlsbad

New Homes for sale at Driftwood in Carlsbad CA 

There's another new collection of homes for sale, at DRIFTWOOD, in Carlsbad CA just ½ mile from the beach in South Carlsbad. 

Before you get too excited about these 27 new homes at Driftwood, be aware that they are just starting to dig, so all you see are piles of dirt and the area marked where the Driftwood community will be built. 

There are 4 floor plans being offered, ranging in size from 2,419 SF up to about 2978 SF, with 3 or 4 bedrooms and 2.5 to 4.5 baths. Homes are 2-story models. 

Pricing for the new homes at Driftwood has not been set yet, but I am guestimating starting in the mid $600s, perhaps more, based on other new construction in Carlsbad. The proximity to the beach, and possibly some views from the location on the hillside (I am guessing on that one - don't hold me to it, and the builder is not suggesting there are views, we will just have to wait and see) may price things into the $700s and perhaps beyond. 

The other thing to know is that these homes are being built on a parcel of land sandwiched between the Poinsettia Lane exit ramp off the 5 and Lowder Lane to the east.

My opinion? There is going to be some freeway noise - it will be interesting to see what noise abatement strategies are used (e.g., insulation, berm and wall along the exit) to moderate the noise and what the impact might be. Standing at the top of the hill looking west over the parcel I could hear the freeway (even though it's below grade there). Some people don't care much, but for others this is a huge issue.
