Rancho Carrillo - A Master Planned Community in Carlsbad California
If your budget will not allow for a Carlsbad detached home (there are only a handful of choices below $500K), and a newer home in a gated community with a nearby elementary school is of interest, Portico is worth your consideration.
Portico was built around 2002 and offers about 100 2- and 3-story town homes with 2 or 3 bedrooms, and 2-car attached garages. These townhomes are built in small clusters in a gated community offering views of the Rancho Carrillo community, the canyon and hills, and in a few cases the distant ocean.
There are 2 Carlsbad homes for sale in Portico as of this writing - both homes are price in the low to mid $400s with 1406 - 1538 SF of living space, 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths.
The complex includes a private swimming pool, spa and cabana within walking distance of all homes.
Children living in Portico attend the San Marcos Unified School District - the elementary school, Carrillo Elementary, is less than a mile away.
Portico residents pay HOA fees of approximately $88/month and Mello Roos of around $170/month (fees should always be verified before purchasing a home).
Nearby amenities in Rancho Carrillo include the Rancho Carrillo Swim Center, the historic Leo Carrillo Ranch Park, a gated parking area for your RV, plenty of hiking trails (see map) and open space.
Shopping and dining are nearby in Carlsbad and San Marcos (Bressi Ranch has a new shopping center with Trader Joe's and Stater Bros. among other stores and several restaurants), and the Carlsbad beaches are perhaps 15-20 minutes away. In the summer free outdoor movies are offered in the Leo Carrillo Historic Ranch Park.
The Rancho Carrillo HOA website provides a wealth of information about the area and Portico, one of 18 villages in the Rancho Carrillo master plan.
The Carlsbad real estate market offers many options for buyers, and the Portico townhomes in the beautiful Rancho Carrillo community may be just right for you.
