Country club living for less than Carlsbad
Shadowridge refers to the area around Shadowridge Golf Club. This collection of communities is popular for its upscale suburban setting and proximity to country club amenities. Still, Realtor Sandi Chenoweth with Caldwell Banker, who has almost 40 years of experience selling in North County, says, “It’s relatively low priced for what you get, compared to Carlsbad.” Shadowridge isn’t low priced, but it’s relatively less expensive because it’s in Vista, Carlsbad’s neighbor to the east. “You’ll be paying over a million for a midsize single-family home, but it’ll be at least a couple hundred thousand less than it would be in Carlsbad,” says Chenoweth. Neighborhoods in Vista, like Shadowridge, are generally lower priced than Carlsbad because they’re farther from the activity on the coast. However, that’s why most residents move here. It offers a quiet, relaxed lifestyle in the hills with lots of outdoor activity. Plus, the ocean really isn’t that far. “It’s only 10 minutes from the beach," Chenoweth says, "so you still get that coastal feel and ocean breeze.”

Spanish-style suburban homes
Even though the entire neighborhood is identified as Shadowridge, like one large development, it’s really a collection of different communities. “When Shadowridge was built in the 1990s, a variety of builders came in and did their own thing,” says Chenoweth. “Each community has its own HOA or community association.” Almost all the communities have a similar layout: winding rows and cul-de-sacs of midsize Spanish-style homes with red-tile roofs and a bit of grassy backyard space. Prices for these single-family homes are as consistent as their looks, with most ranging from $700,000 to $1 million, and some exceeding $1.5 million. The main choice buyers have to make is location. Communities on the east side, like Montecito, are closest to schools, while Casielos is nearest to employers on the neighborhood’s south end. Bella Vista and Shadowridge are the main communities surrounding Shadowridge Golf Club. The Shadowridge community, on the golf club’s north side, is particularly sought-after because it has community pools and more greenery. Condos around the course can cost $500,000 to $900,000. Prices are typically highest in Stonegate, a gated community on the neighborhood’s north end, where mansions on spacious lots can reach over $2 million.

Shadowridge Golf Club and community pickleball courts
As the centerpiece of the neighborhood, Shadowridge Golf Club attracts many residents. The club is private, but it’s not exclusively for residents, so anyone can apply. Aside from the pristine 18-hole course, the club has fitness facilities, a formal dining room, a casual outdoor bar and event spaces. The neighborhood has plenty of other recreation that doesn’t require membership. Tennis and pickleball players meet at Thibodo Park — just north of Shadowridge Golf Club — for daily matches and weekend leagues. Buena Vista Park offers acres of open space on the neighborhood’s west side. Many know Buena Vista Park for the duck pond, sitting close to the entrance off Shadowridge Drive. Those not feeding the birds can follow the 2-mile dirt hiking loop across the brush-covered hills overlooking Dawson Los Monos Canyon. Surfers can drive about 10 miles west to Carlsbad State Beach and Tamarack Surf Beach.

On the east side of state Route 78, North County Square has recognizable retailers like Target, Walmart and Micheals. Carlsbad Business Park, on the south end of the neighborhood, is home to a plethora of craft breweries. Beer enthusiasts can sample small local brews at Belching Beaver and enjoy regional favorites at Pure Project.

Work in Carlsbad Business Park
Many residents don’t have to leave Shadowridge for work, as Carlsbad Business Park is located on the neighborhood’s south end. Most of the area’s industry is concentrated in the business park, keeping the surrounding Carlsbad-Vista-San Marcos area primarily residential. The section directly south of Shadowridge is home to biotech incubators, pharmaceutical companies, logistics facilities and corporate office spaces. All these employers are less than a mile down South Melrose Drive or Sycamore Avenue from many homes. Buses run along Melrose and Sycamore but don’t travel within residential developments. Healthcare workers can take State Highway 78 to Tri-City Medical Center, about 5 miles north in Oceanside. Commuters might also make the 40-mile trip to downtown San Diego or San Diego International Airport by driving east on the 78 and heading south on Interstate 15.
