    "Hopefully as a dog owner, respecting to not have your animals going on other neighbors property. However there are often times it can’t be helped, so always pick up your dogs deposits. There are a lot of people who walk their dogs and it is a very pet friendly area. "

    "I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 30 years the schools are amazing the people are even better I love this neighborhood the weather is perfect the beaches are great. The only thing that leaves to be desired is public office. Same with the police department there on the good old boy schedule so if you don’t know anybody you won’t get hired. Just let you know not that I’m looking for a job with them."

    "Olde Carlsbad is one of the best coastal SoCal neighborhoods, especially for families! Mixes the Olde & the new very well with coastal weather/breezes, urban diversity/density, bike/walk/transit friendly with great suburban schools, safety & family friendly amenities. Best of both worlds quietly tucked between SD to the south, with OC & LA to the north."

    "Pickleball at St Michaels Episcopal church where the spirit of a community and inclusion make every game a treat. There are good players at every level and the paddle wheel makes it easy to work in the flow of games. If you like making friends, stick around for an evening bbq with a great group of people. The Carlsbad Music Festival centers at St Michaels and brings many music lovers into the center of the community. They also sponsor a Wine Festival in October that seems like a special occasion."
