La Costa Oaks - Master Planned Community in Carlsbad, California

One of the 4 communities in the La Costa Villages (La Costa Valley - built and sold out), La Costa Greens (some brand new construction still available but also some resale properties) and La Costa Ridge (mostly under construction with a few home occupied), La Costa Oaks opened in July of 2004.

This subdivision is located about 5 miles inland, off La Costa Avenue and Rancho Santa Fe Road.

While this community is fairly new, it has the feel of a well-established neighborhood. There are great views of the hills, the La Costa Preserve, and some peaks of the ocean from some homes. Because of the hilly location there are great ocean breezes. The homes are different than what you will find at La Costa Greens and La Cost Ridge - worth checking out if you are house hunting. There are not many single story homes, however.

Jeff,

I was doing research on La Costa Oaks for a client and found your article. It was very informative!  Thanks for writing such a useful piece - I didn't find much else out there on the web. In fact, www.lacostaoaks.com is not even live anymore!

 
take care,

adam

Thanks, Adam. Glad it was useful, They take down the site for the master planned communities once they are sold out it seems.

John:

I am trying to find out when they expect the new phases of homes to be available. My understanding is that prices will start in the $600,000s.
