Carlsbad
“village by the sea”

general.

Located 35 miles north of Downtown San Diego, Carlsbad is among the nation’s top 20 wealthiest communities and the fifth richest city in the state of California. Carlsbad got its name in 1882 after the water in Carlsbad was found to have a similar mineral content as that of a famous spa in Karlsbad, Bohemia (now Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic). The city is relaxed with a small town charm and rich local history.
