Why Carlsbad is the Best Living in Southern California (North)

[@Carriesue1982]

I’ve lived here 16 years but we are leaving next year for Tennessee.. we want to buy land and that’s just not possible here, it’s too expensive and too built up but otherwise it’s a beautiful town with some of the best weather in the world!

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Wow, that will be quite the move! Land is expensive here no doubt, there are some opportunities occasionally in Oceanside and Vista that are great buys still, but very difficult in Carlsbad and south generally. What is taking you out to Tennessee??

[@reina6542]

I really enjoyed the video, thank you!

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Thanks for watching ☺️

[@Babyluv_]

Wow! Carlsbad is so beautiful!!! 😍 I’ve always wanted to visit. I love the San Diego (main) area . Can’t wait to visit Carlsbad once Covid is over.

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Sorry for the late reply! We can’t wait to have you back out here, definitely don’t miss the north county coastal area next time your here🤗

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

Thanks for the great video! We are thinking of moving to San Diego area from Moscow Russia so your video is a big help

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Thank you, glad it was helpful!! Feel free to let me know when you are in the area, would love to help show you the area and help you find a place!

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

San Diego Living thank you, I’ll keep that in mind

[@SanDiegogrown]

I am from Carmel Valley but I love Carlsbad the most

[@chnalvr]

The Carlsbad Half and Full Marathons are along the beautiful stretch of mostly undeveloped beaches in January. A perfect time of year for a marathon in SoCal.

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Yep!! Absolutely love those races and the coastline they go along, it’s fantastic and so gorgeous🏖

[@thegoodwin]

Yes, beautiful Carlsbad.

[@SanDiegoLiving]

It is indeed, thank you!!

I really enjoyed this video. All of the aspects of Carlsbad living that you highlight are the same things that caused my wife and I to move to Carlsbad from No. Calif 3 years ago. Unfortunately the video only covers the northwest quadrant of a large and diverse community. We live on the southwest quadrant just a few minute walk to our beach, Ponto Beach. It would be great if you could highlight more aspects of our fantastic town. The touristy northwest area is wonderful but we are so much more than that! Thanks for a fun vid.

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Thank you Randall! You are correct, I only covered the northwest quadrant. The series I’m doing is on coastal living, and the northern part of Carlsbad is where most of that is. I tried to label the video with (North) to help, but I appreciate the feedback. I fully plan on featuring other parts of Carlsbad down the road; it’s an incredible city for sure! Thank you again!!

[@VietnamDream]

Hi, your video so nice. May i ask you what type is your camera? Thank you!

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Sorry for the delay, and thank you! I use multiple cameras, Mavic pro platinum, GoPro max, Sony A9, Sony RIII. What are you looking to shoot, I don’t mind helping with suggestions. My wife shoots professionally so I do a lot of research in the industry to have the best equipment we can for her...

[@VietnamDream]

@@SanDiegoLiving thank you very much! I had wondered if that is a GoPro, since the colour of your street walking footages are so nice! Is it the default colour of Gopro Max or you made it in post? I'm just into casual videos, mainly for travel, so I love to learn about small devices. I'm using iPhone, Gopro7, Sony Rx100 m5. I just bought a Sony A6600 but I see it's not so convenient in someway.

[@SanDiegoLiving]

I appreciate that! I film it in flat actually and then apply a LUT that I made to color grade. Once you get it all setup its easy to do, and then you can just make minor adjustments depending on time of day and lighting that you are filming in. I just watched some other youtube videos to learn about it, absolutely makes a difference in getting the colors how you would like. You can also buy LUTs if you want. I find that using cameras like the a6600 require a lot of work to get it setup on a gimbal and stabilized and what not, end of the day you could probably get better video, the GoPro is just so much easier...

[@ericaelliot4367]

I could not agree more!

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Right!! Thanks for watching☺️

[@frankiedoor515]

Thanks for the video bring back memories I lived out there in 1984 right above the Andersons pea soup right off of Palomar Airport Road in white condos can’t think of their names but I had a great time of my life if I hit the lotto I’ll move back

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Very fun, glad it brought back some good memories! They actually turned the Pea soup building into a really fun food hall back in 2018/2019. Hope you get to come back!

[@missachan867]

I really want to move back to Carlsbad, and I'm dragging my husband with me so he can experience the magic of it

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Hahaha, yes come back!!! It really is a fantastic place thats pretty unknown generally. Let me know anytime if you ever want to look at homes here, happy to set that up for you!

[@Itried20takennames]

Another great thing pre-Covid...Legoland year-long season passes that are, or at least were, about the cost of two tickets. It has great rides, a huge water park, a cute little Acquarium and used to take the kids there for an hour or two a couple times a week.

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Absolutely a great part of Carlsbad! Such an awesome place for families and little ones, have lots of friends who go there often. Fortunately they are open again in some capacity, praying we can get back to being a social community again though, our world and country need it!

[@Itried20takennames]

Carlsbad is great, but obviously between being on the coast, and in CA, with good jobs nearby, the real estate is pretty pricey

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Can’t argue with that one, but whose doesn’t love having a great job and living on the coast ;) There are some more affordable opportunities nearby though that are still great! Oceanside could be an awesome investment opportunity right now!

Can I get a 1 bedroom apt for 1000 a month?

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Sorry I missed this comment. Give me a ring or text and I can help you find one! [phone] That price point likely won’t allow you too close to the coastline to be honest but there are opportunities, especially if you are open to a studio or a small 1 bedroom.

Hi there! I’ve been binging your videos! Very interested in Carlsbad. New subscriber here and hopefully Carlsbad will be my new home. Wondering if a single almost 48 yr old lady would fit in 🌸 work from home, just want the beach, grab tacos, ride my bike and read while laying out.

[@salleymudd5488]

How expensive is it to live there? I'm thinking about apply to a job there but it pays 62k-72k and from what I know about California, idk if that's enough to live decently of of. I have an 8 year old and two dogs so I'd want to rent a 2 bedroom house. I don't want to buy as I already own a home here in Texas. Also, California's politics suck and because f that, so does the states education, infrastructure, and housing. California has the highest tax rate and highest homeless population in the country and I'm wondering if that has hit Carlsbad - like does Carlsbad have thousands of homeless ppl all over the place like LA, San Fransisco, Anaheim, and most of the other cities in CA? I just want to know if there's afford place to live in Carlsbad, and what the homeless population is like there. I'd hate to get the job and move there and be wishing I was back in Texas :/

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Carlsbad is amazing, but based on the situation you described it could be challenging from a $ perspective. The homeless situation is sad, fortunately Carlsbad doesn’t have a quite the struggle with that like some of the other large cities you mentioned. It’s a smaller laid back coastal town.

[@dennydiante2434]

too close together - noise factor

[@SanDiegoLiving]

Depending on where you come from, I can see where this would be a concern you might have. Clients coming from downtown, LA, or the Bay Area seem to think there is so much space, people coming from anywhere north or east of CA feel just like you do. I have to say that personally, this factor is what makes Carlsbad and North County my favorite area in the country. You have a lot more space than being in San Diego proper, but still have access to all the city has to offer and the best weather money can buy! Thanks for your input, hope you are well!

I guess I’m lucky
