Carlsbad real estate continues to undergo significant growth in some areas, in accordance with the Smart Growth plans of the city and approvals by the city planning board.
The Carlsbad real estate market has seen the addition of over 3000 housing units in several major planned communities that have sprouted up since 2000 including La Costa Greens, Rancho Carrillo, La Costa Ridge, Calavera Hills and Bressi Ranch.
The newest community underway is Robertson Ranch, just south and slightly west of Calavera Hills. Robertson Ranch has been in the planning stages for some time, and while components of the master planned community have been approved, there are still phases of homes that are undergoing the approval process. Up until about 2 years ago the area where Robertson Ranch is being built was vacant land, and a large tree nursery (mostly palms), adjacent to what is still agricultural land in use (see my previous post Carlsbad A Residential Community or An Agricultural One?) was still in business.

The tree farm and the vacant land are all gone now (the AG land is still there and in use). The transformation of land that is to become a residential community is truly remarkable, and a bit disconcerting.
The land has all been grated/leveled/compacted, some new access roads put in, landscaping is in place along the walls adjacent to Cannon Road, and the first phase of building (attached homes) can actually be seen. No dates have been announced publicly but judging from the progress in the construction I would guess we may see some units ready to view perhaps by the end of the year.
Stay tuned for more updates on this newest Carlsbad real estate development. It will be interesting to watch the continued transformation from vacant land to a community of several thousand individuals.
