The area,
positioned roughly half-way up the San Diego County
coastline, is convenient to almost everything.
Located adjacent to the beaches at
Del Mar and
Torrey Pines (and
Torrey Pines Reserve), with
UCSD
and its surrounding biotech and communications
industries only minutes away. To the immediate south
lie Sorrento Valley and La Jolla's Golden Triangle,
which are large employment centers complete with a
shopping mall and many fine restaurants. A quick
twenty minute drive south brings you to the airport,
downtown San Diego,
Balboa Park, the
Zoo, Mission Bay,
Sea World and more. To the north are developing
centers around La Costa and Palomar Airport, as well
as the
Flower Fields and
Legoland. In the next few years, the completion
of SR-56 will connect the community with the eastern
suburbs of San Diego--Poway
,
Rancho Bernardo,
Escondido and more. This area provides access to
more jobs, more shopping, and cultural spots such as
the
California Center for Performing Arts and the
Wild Animal Park.
In addition to
all this, Carmel Valley will be at the start of the
San
Dieguito River Park, which will wind from the
Pacific Ocean at the Del Mar Fairgrounds to the
mountains near Julian.

The area is developing into one of the most
desirable commercial zones in the county. Numerous
commercial buildings house corporate offices for
companies such as Pardee, Peregrine and Oracle.
Carmel Valley sits at the intersection of I-5 and
I-805, immediately north of La Jolla's "Golden
Triangle," and UCSD. Rancho Santa Fe, La Jolla, Del
Mar and Fairbanks Ranch are all easily accessible.
Given the prime location and the access to good
schools and upscale housing, this is one of the most
expensive commercial areas in San Diego.
