Luxurious neighborhood with a slow pace
The slow, organic pace of Bonsall is highly sought after by residents seeking a California haven away from the oceanfront bustle. “Bonsall is one of the area’s best buys. For what you get here, you’d pay millions more in Carlsbad or Rancho Santa Fe. But the benefits aren’t all monetary. People live here for the peace and tranquility,” says Kim Carlson, a local Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeService and over 30 years of experience. “You have green rolling hills and pastures, houses on hilltops, soaring eagles and views of the snow-capped mountains. It’s like living in the country while being close to everything. It’s really a place set apart, where neighbors care about each other and the natural environment they share.”
