About Carlsbad, California
Carlsbad is one of the most desirable coastal cities in California, balancing seven miles of beach with three lagoons, two championship golf resorts, top-ranked schools, and a growing life-sciences and golf-industry employment base (Callaway, TaylorMade, Titleist, ViaSat, Thermo Fisher, Ionis). The city is organized into four quadrants, each with a distinct character — from the historic Village near the beach to the master-planned La Costa and Aviara hillsides.
Population: ~115,000 · Region: Coastal · County: San Diego
