North County Coastal
People who live in Leucadia have a strong independent character and a lot of pride in their community. Inland Olivenhain (German for “olive grove”) is semi-rural and country living at its best, offering estate homes on large lots, ideal for gardening, peaceful reflection, and horse-keeping, yet still close to shopping and restaurants. There is a very active 4-H Club.
CARLSBAD
Known as “the village by the sea,” picturesque Carlsbad has a historic downtown district overlooking the ocean. As the town stretches east toward Palomar Airport, golfing manufacturers, corporate offices and biotech parks mesh with the Legoland theme park. Further south, the La Costa Resort and Spa and the Four Seasons Aviara Resort offer world-class amenities. Within this coastal and inland community, you’ll find families living in upscale and upwardly mobile neighborhoods. There are also a slew of golf courses. Founded in the mid-1880s, the town got its name from spring waters that tasted identical to spa water in Karlsbad, Bohemia.
OCEANSIDE
The northernmost city in the County, Oceanside is transforming itself from the backyard of Camp Pendleton’s Marine Corps base into a vibrant business and tourism center. Persons living here can work either in North San Diego or Southern Orange County without long commutes. Oceanside has an affordable supply of new housing and condominium developments, including two retirement commun-ities. The Harbor and Marina is a great place to relax and the 2,000 foot pier is one of the longest wooden piers on the West Coast. Finally, the San Luis Rey Mission has stood for nearly
