[quote=frizz34]Why are houses just west of Rancho Sante Fe Road (Rancho Carillo Area) approx $50-$75K higher for the same square footage than Old Creek Ranch/SEH. Is it purely having Carlsbad Address? The schools are the exact same with Old Creek Ranch. I would not think Carlsbad address vs San Marcos Address hold a that much of a premium in the market place, but current pricing shows this. Any thoughts?[/quote]

I’ve been trying to understand that for 2+ years – makes no sense to me. I can’t think a of good reason other than the Carlsbad address.
Like you said, the schools are the same.

As you turn onto SEH road there is a sign that says “leaving Carlsbad” right before OCR. I call that the $100K sign!
