Many years ago, we purchased a home in Carlsbad, using a realtor that was recommended to us - Jim Klinge. Fast forward to 2025, we recently had the privilege of selling 2 homes in Carlsbad, CA and didn't hesitate to reach out to Jim and Donna Klinge of Klinge Realty Group to guide us through the sales. The transactions were very different, each with its own unique situation, opportunities and challenges. From start to finish, Donna and Jim helped navigate the pre-sale preparation, the listing, showing of the house, buyer negotiations, the final close and all of the paperwork and decisions in between. What stands out with both transactions is the professionalism of Jim and Donna (and their team), wonderful communication (timely, relevant, concise), their deep understanding of market dynamics (setting realistic expectations), their access to top-notch contractors, and last, their ability to guide us across the finish line successfully. We wouldn't hesitate to use Jim and Donna in the future and highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy or sell a property in North San Diego County.
I’m not much for living on the coast, but even I would consider one of those houses if I could afford it. That view is a rare gem indeed.
Those rr tracks negate it a bit, but the view still comes out on top.
Train doesn’t honk there so it’s ok.
However, 5 hotels are going up right next to the property from La Costa Ave (Leucadia) to Ponto beach. Good luck!
Best lagoon in southern California for sure. No power plant monstrocity that is growing. I think this lagoon is dredged once a year paid for by some oil company as a fine for a spill somewhere unrelated to Carlsbad. Hundreds of bird species migrate by using the sand pads in the middle of the lagoon as a rest stop. I’m not even a bird buff but when you see all the species you can’t help but get sucked in to thinking that’s cool.
Only thing that bugs me is you can’t go play in that lagoon. It would be so much fun to kayak it. Carlsbad’s other lagoons don’t look so nice and hence I have no interest in kayaking them, even if it was allowed.
Would be nice if that resort site (it’s not a hotel site south of Avenida Encinas according to the Ponto Vision Plan) would be ocean view restaurants. Like we need more resorts or hotel (or timeshares). There is no where good to eat around there. I guess the Carlsbad Council could give a rat’s about having balance.
..and I’m not satisfied with one measly resort restaurant on that site that has no competition. I’m thinking that is a great place for coastal restaurant alley.
Re: The 2nd home that sold on Stearn for 2.1m. After sitting on the market in ’08 for nine months listed at 2.1-2.3M we submitted an all cash offer at 1.7M,10 day close. The owner was insulted. The killer views get the extra $$$
Are people willing to pay a view premium on twinhomes too? Did you see 2408 Sacada, Carlsbad 92009 for 499K? Gorgeous view of the golf course and lagoon.
