Carlsbad Homes - Alga Hills in La Costa

 Buyers looking for Carlsbad homes who are interested in the La Costa area might well be interested in Alga Hills, a subdivision developed in 1989 that is just east of the famed La Costa Resort and Spa on the hills overlooking the golf course, and south of Alga Road.

With easy access to the South Carlsbad State Beach, and plenty of shopping and other amenities along El Camino Real in South Carlsbad and Encinitas, residents in Alga Hills can enjoy an enviable lifestyle with temperate coastal weather year round.

The Four Seasons Aviara (with a terrific spa and golf course) is 10 minutes away, and access to the 5 freeway is about 3 miles off La Costa Avenue. Travel time to Carlsbad Village is perhaps 15 minutes, with plenty of shopping, boutiques, restaurants, the Farmer's Market, and more beaches.

The neighborhood is also about 15 minutes to the main shopping area of San Marcos, providing even more options for retail, home improvement and dining.

School age children in Alga Hills attend the La Costa Meadows Elementary School; older students go to the San Marcos Middle School and then the San Marcos High School. For more information on the schools visit the main websitefor San Marcos Schools.

There is a Home Owner's Associationin Alga Hills and residents pay HOA fees (around $110/monthly but variable depending on the property), but no Mello Roos. The subdivision is managed by Lindsay Management.

 Amenities in the community itself include 2 pools in different locations (with hot showers, spa and changing rooms), and 3 tot lots.

Alga Hills homes are all detached, in similar but varying styles. As of August 2007 there are 10 homes for sale in Alga Hills ranging in price from $634,900 (for a 3 bedroom 1990 SF home) to $859,900 (for a 2700 SF 4 bedroom home); the average list price is $715,000, at 70 days on the market, which compares favorably to the median price for homes in the La Costa area (92009) of $830,000.
