Poinsettia is also only 30 miles from San Diego, making it convenient to the bigger city. “You're seeing more and more people working locally,” Schwartz adds, noting that Carlsbad has its own robust economy largely centered around golf and biotech industries.

Suburban layout with parks, churches and winding roads
Southwestern-style homes are common here. “You have a wide range of size variations from entry level all the way up to very, very large estate-style homes,” Schwartz says. “This neighborhood is fairly established. There is not a lot of room for building. But there are small infill projects here and there.” Neighborhood streets are compact and somewhat hilly, many with small front yards springing with palm trees. Greenbelts between subdivisions and anchoring neighborhood parks add spaciousness. The landscape is overall suburban, yet main roads lead throughout, winding past churches, schools and businesses. Mountains rise in the distance. Single-family homes range from $925,000 to $1.9 million. Larger and more luxurious properties fetch more than $2 million to about $3.7 million. Townhouses and condos sell for around $680,000 to $1.7 million.
