Carlsbad is about 30 minutes away from San Diego, perfect location to Travel to SD, and 45 minutes away from Mexico, and Also only about 55 minutes away from Disneyland and 1 hour 30 minutes away from LA.
We got a place on the Carlsbad/Encinitas border (just off of La Costa) and we could not be happier. We are 5 miles from the Alila Hotel and Ponto State beach, which has one of the best "non-commericialized" beaches in the area. From there we can go either south into Leucadia and the rest of Encinitas or north into Carlsbad village. Either way, this is a easy 15 minute trip we can do DAILY after my "remote workday" which ends at about 2:30pm (I am on East Coast time). No real issues with traffic or parking most of the time. And the people are incredibly nice and friendly everywhere in this area. As for where we live, it has the very temperate "coastal" climate year round (it gets much hotter/colder only a few more miles inland), and it has a number of canyon views (with far less people) all around with tons of trails, plus we can see the ocean as well. Really the best of everything we wanted.
I wish someone would have told me/WARNED ME this about Carlsbad, and that is "...Recreational Fires..." Recreational fires are allowed/permitted anywhere in Carlsbad except on the beach or in a homeowners association. I have lived west of I 5 in the downtown area for 41 years and we have "recreational" every week pretty much everyday even July & Aug non stop and there's nothing I/we can do about it. (Decided to rent my place out in Carlsbad and have now moved because of this situation.) Many people have small fire pits in their front and back yards and what's mind boggling is that it'l be 89 degrees in July or Aug or here's one for you the Santa Anna's are blowing California is on the news that the devil winds are burning down cities and big areas and people in Carlsbad are having their Recreational Fires going -- seriously! No bs! I mean you can't make this stuff up. What's interesting is if your fire pit is 15' from your house you can burn 24/7 365. I'm in a duplex where the garages are connected where there's 36 units like that with no HOA, and everyone front door is 25' from each other - and people burn every week. It doesn't mater where your at in Carlsbad I've talked to many many people and they're going through the same frustration where they can't open their window because of this hobby of Recreational Fires burning daily. So what I did was I took numerous pictures and documented every time the police and fire dept was called out by me and others having the same problem which was a very long list, and that list was presented to the city counsel. I wrote up and document everything, made a package with numerous pictures of all the fire pits actually burning and smoking out others apartments, condo's, and homes so I had "proof" not jut complaining whining words. I presented each package and personally delivered it to each member of those on the Carlsbad City Council with my name number and email, and did not get one response. I'll I'm trying to do hear is The Golden Rule, tell people, (because I wish I would have been told this) that if you do decide to move to Carlsbad I would highly recommend asking many people in the neighborhood your interested in about ""smoke"" entering their homes. Thee other issue is the chimney smoke, Carlsbad decided to allow building etc go up higher so many people are getting smoke from chimneys. Again just trying to warn people do your homework on this major health issue. If you have any doubts on what I'm writing about please feel free to contact me here on YT, I will be more than willing to send you some pictures so you know I'm not just making this up. On thee other side of the coin Carlsbad is a good place to live if you don't mind the over the top crowds cars, and hard to find beach parking. Peace and good luck to ya.
Weather in SoCal is kind of like a fine wine ... so you can never go wrong, but it really depends on your mood. The marine layer burns off a little quicker in Costa Mesa, which is why Sean and Courtney personally prefer it :)
That's a good way to put it. With the current heat wave, everyone's gonna wanna live in Costa Mesa. I do wonder if cooler summer weather is growing as a deciding factor when moving.

You guys are so cute I’m just a renter but vids are super helpful, It would be cool to maybe include air quality.
Or maybe a vid dedicated solely to air quality
Thanks for the feedback!
You said Costa Mesa has "the best weather in the world" in other videos. So which is it? Carlsbad or Costa Mesa?

You must not be aware of Sage Creek and Pacific Ridge High Schools.
I love living in highland Park Michigan
Is Carlsbad or OC better to live in ?
Carlsbad
I moved from Carlsbad to Laguna Beach. I hate Orange County with passion! It's like a retirement center here.
@@alexy6093 Me too../moving to Carlsbad-O.C. is soul-less
