[quote=sdstargirl]I’m a single female and I just got offer a job in the Carlsbad area. Prior to moving to DC, I used to live in Hillcrest. I really love the Hillcrest area, but I know the commute to Carlsbad will be horrible. What area would you Piggs suggest in North County that has a similar vibe like Hillcrest?[/quote]
I work in Carlsbad. The commute from Hillcrest is opposite of traffic. I used to live in PB and drove to Carlsbad daily. The only trouble time was during the Del Mar Fair and horsey season. Other than that, it was 25 min smooth sailing.
I like south Carlsbad and as others suggested, Encinitas.
