Poinsettia
Places to skate, play soccer and surf close to home
Poinsettia Park is where a lot of locals come to play tennis and pickleball. It also has a dog park, a playground, and is a meeting place for a group of moms for fitness classes. Aviara Community Park is another popular spot, boasting a large turf soccer field and a baseball field. Swimmers and shredders can find an aquatic center and skate park just east at Alga Norte Community Park. Nearby golf courses, including a public championship course, are go-tos for tee time and lessons. The beach is a short drive away, and city trails promote an active lifestyle. Hikers can look up trail difficulty and connectivity through the online portal GoHike Carlsbad. Four miles away is Legoland California Resort, which features a theme park and aquarium. Locals can walk trails, boat and fish in surrounding lagoons — the farthest roughly 6 miles away.Suburban layout with parks, churches and winding roads
Southwestern-style homes are common here. “You have a wide range of size variations from entry level all the way up to very, very large estate-style homes,” Schwartz says. “This neighborhood is fairly established. There is not a lot of room for building. But there are small infill projects here and there.” Neighborhood streets are compact and somewhat hilly, many with small front yards springing with palm trees. Greenbelts between subdivisions and anchoring neighborhood parks add spaciousness. The landscape is overall suburban, yet main roads lead throughout, winding past churches, schools and businesses. Mountains rise in the distance. Single-family homes range from $925,000 to $1.9 million. Larger and more luxurious properties fetch more than $2 million to about $3.7 million. Townhouses and condos sell for around $680,000 to $1.7 million.A-rated schools with advanced academic opportunities
Students attend the Carlsbad Unified School District. They may begin at Poinsettia Elementary and generally transition to Aviara Oaks Middle before filtering into Carlsbad High School. All of these schools earn an A from Niche. The high school helps students advance their studies through internships and an AP capstone project.Regional chains, local eateries and outlet shopping nearby
The Story Caffè is a go-to coffee shop next to North Coast Calvary Chapel in Poinsettia. But shopping and dining are mostly clustered northeast of the neighborhood, surrounding the highway and Palomar Airport Road. Places to dine include national and regional fast-food chains, including Chick-fil-A, Miguel's Cocina and In-N-Out. The Windmill Food Hall features a selection of food from local vendors — including Thai Style, Craft Pizza and Lobster Lab — and a full bar serving signature cocktails. The food hall also hosts weekly events, including trivia nights and live music. Costco is near the shopping center for bulk shopping. North of the neighborhood, Carlsbad Premium Outlets has high-end brands and casual retailers. In Carlsbad Village, around 6 miles away, residents can peruse a collection of shops and eateries within walking distance.Trails, transit and beach access
Poinsettia is built off Interstate 5, which takes commuters south to San Diego. Poinsettia Lane passes westward through the neighborhood toward the beach. Travelers can take advantage of nearby bus stops serviced by the North County Transit District. Poinsettia is south of a public airport used by commercial and general aviation, so residents can expect to hear some noise from overhead aircraft.
