The 92130 Zip Code, formerly known solely as Carmel Valley, now encompasses eight communities: Carmel Country Highlands, the core of Carmel Valley which includes North and South of Del Mar Heights Road, Del Mar Mesa, Rancho Pacifica, Pacific Highlands Ranch, Torrey Del Mar and Vicinity and Torrey Hills. One of the newer zip codes in the city of San Diego, the area lies near Interstate-5, Del Mar and just a short distance from the ocean. The easy access from I-5 and SR-56, combined with the family-friendly lifestyle, has made it a favorite residential location for people who love living on the coast but don’t want to pay Del Mar and La Jolla prices.
Development of the residential areas began in 1983, and there are now a variety of luxury homes, condominiums and apartments available. There are approximately 16,000 homes and condos, and the residents are executives and professionals who often work in nearby Sorrento Valley’s high-tech and bio-tech firms. In total there are approximately 5,783 attached condominiums and 10,098 single family detached homes in 92130. Most of the jobs in the area are in research, medical and business centers. Due to the proximity of the University of California and Scripps Medical Centers, staff and students live here, attracting the activities of intellectuals: movies, plays, galleries, great restaurants, shops, and night life.
92130 has become a new legal power hub and center for business services. At least two dozen law firms are now clustered along the High Bluff Drive and El Camino Real, making the 92130 zip code a premium locale that encompasses some of the priciest office space in San Diego County. Many of the new law offices represent satellite operations for large firms with hundreds of attorneys in offices nationwide and even overseas. The big law firms moving into the area are targeting San Diego’s lucrative corporate work, such as intellectual property, copyright and patent law, focused on protecting the proprietary science and technology and underlie San Diego’s proliferation of wireless, software, biotechnology, and health science companies.
The schools in 92130 are a big draw for families. In 2013, the last time the state’s Academic Performance Index (API) was conducted out of the 437 public elementary schools in San Diego County, all of the elementary schools score near the top. The API is a numeric index ranging from a low of 200 to a high of 1000 that reflects a school’s performance level, based on the results of statewide testing. At the same time Carmel Valley Middle School ranked #1 and two of the four high schools were ranked in the top 10.
Residents are active and take advantage of the area’s open space to bike, skate, walk and run. The Carmel Valley Community Park offers a sport facility that includes playing fields, a swimming pool and a gym. The
