Aviara

Anyone has information on Aviara?

Prices for the rest of Carlsbad seem to have fallen, but Aviara seems to hold pretty well.

Here’s a link to a rental house at Aviara.  I posted this in a different thread previously.   For $2,100 why buy?  You can live there and let the landlord subsidize your lifestyle. 

Owner bought for $432,500 on 3/27/2002. For that purchase price, they aren’t even cash flow positive.

Thanks, PerryChase. But I’m looking for something larger – 4 bedroom, 2000 sqf plus.

Prices are down there too. Here’s a good example on the low end of Aviara which is Tramonto. There is a 4BR/3BA 2323 sq ft house on the market right now for $660,000 which has been on the market about 2 months. The same house sold in for $690,000 in July 2004 in 21 days. When it sells it will be 5 to 10% below the price it sold for about 2 1/2 years ago.

1. Aviara Point-Very high end custom homes on small lots with spectacular views. A single street with gates at both ends surrounded by Aviara Golf Course. price $2M+

2. Bella Lago-very nice tract homes built by Brookfield in Gated Community built overlooking lagoon. Price mostly $1.4M+

How does the Calavera neighborhood compare to Aviara in terms of schools and “feel”?.

[sdrealtor]

Both are nice but overall Aviara is several big steps up.

Aviara has a Four Seasons Resort with phenomenal golf course as its center piece and overlooks a lagoon. Many homes have ocean and/or canyon views. It is 5 minutes from the freeway and the beach. Elementary and Jr. High schools are outstanding. It is next to Encinitas, one of SoCals’ truly unique and great beach towns.

Calavera has some nice tract homes and some nice canyon open space around it. Good schools. No golf course, No 5 star resort, No 5 minutes from the beach or freeway but it is 5 minutes from an area of Oceanside (Lake & Thunder) with a fair amount of gang activity. For a nice new tract home in Carlsbad it is a relative bargain.

Both areas go to Carlsbad High, though a school bond just passed to build another HS that will probably end up with most of the Aviara kids.

Calavera has never done it for me. It is in the northeast corner of Carlsbad and just doesn’t have the feel that the southern parts of Carlsbad have. Also, I suspect that you would do much of your shopping in areas overlapping with some not so nice parts of Oceanside. Its also not that much cheaper. All in all, I’d rather be in the Southern part of Carlsbad, and idealy even in the San Deguito school district.

agreed
