Two subdivisions offer different home styles and price points
Sprawling crop fields blanket the bulk of Rancho Carlsbad and back up to the neighborhood’s two distinct subdivisions on the southern side. Its namesake community features manufactured homes built from the late-20th century into the 21st century, which sit close together with carports and colorful exteriors. Wide residential streets allow for walks to the community clubhouse, recreation center and pool. A homeowners association monthly fee of $485 goes towards facility upkeep and other services. These homes typically sell between $500,000 and $850,000. The gated Terraces at Sunny Creek subdivision offers larger two-story homes built in 2003. Clay tile roofs and stucco exteriors are common, underscoring its Spanish aesthetic. Neat sidewalks run throughout, and front lawns are well-kept by a homeowners association, and fees start at about $215. Prices for homes in this community range from $1.3 million to $1.65 million.
