Poinsettia
Neighborhood in Carlsbad, California
San Diego County 92011
Places to skate, play soffer and surf close to home
Neighborhood parks offer places to play, exercise with friends and practice sports. Poinsettia Park is a popular spot to play tennis and pickleball. It also has a dog park, playground and athletic fields and a group of local moms meet for fitness classes on the grounds. Aviara Community Park is another practice spot, boasting a large turf soccer field and 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 just north, are go-tos for tee time and lessons from professionals. The beach is a short drive away, and city trails promote an active lifestyle. Hikers can gauge variables such as trail difficulty and connectivity through the online portal GoHike Carlsbad. Legoland’s theme park and aquarium are within 4 miles. Locals can walk the 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, and short driveways. 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. Foggy mountains rise in the distance. Single family homes price from $925,000 to $1.9 million. As options get larger and more luxurious, the range tips over $2 million and rises to around $3.7 million. Townhouses and condos price from 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 School and generally transition to Aviara Oaks Middle School 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 that enhances specific AP courses designed to enhance critical skills valued and sought by universities and colleges.Regional chains, local eateries and outlet shopping near the neighborh
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 Wholesale is near the shopping center for bulk shopping. Carlsbad Premium Outlets is also north of the neighborhood, with high-end brands such as Coach and casual retailers including Gap. Carlsbad Village, offering local shops and eateries within walking distance, is around 6 miles away.Trails, transit and beach access
Poinsettia is built off US 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 North County Transit District. Poinsettia is south of a public airport used by commercial and general aviation, leading to some overhead sounds.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
