Nicknamed “The Village by the Sea,” Carlsbad is a bit bigger and more diverse than that moniker would suggest. The beach is certainly the most popular part of town for locals and visitors alike, and the coastal vibe permeates the entire community, but beyond the coastline Carlsbad is a thriving city of over 100,000.
The inland area is mostly residential, filled with upscale suburban homes as well as apartments and condominiums. Families love the exceptionally high-performing schools as well as the low crime rate. In addition to the beach, Carlsbad’s recreational options include numerous large city parks, golf courses, and the wildly popular LEGOLAND California theme park.
The arts are well represented in the numerous galleries, concert venues, festivals, and the unique Museum of Making Music.
