Living in Carmel Valley
What it’s really like to call Carmel Valley home.
Carmel Valley is one of San Diego's most in-demand family neighborhoods, largely because of its schools — including Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy — and its easy access to Del Mar's beaches.
Homes are mostly from the 1990s onward, with parks, trails, and shopping at Del Mar Highlands and One Paseo. Its location near the Torrey Pines and Sorrento Valley job centers makes it a favorite with biotech and tech professionals.
- Served by the highly regarded Del Mar Union and San Dieguito Union school districts.
- One Paseo and Del Mar Highlands Town Center offer dining, shopping, and entertainment.
- The Carmel Valley and Los Peñasquitos trails are close by for hiking and biking.
- Just minutes from Del Mar, Torrey Pines, and the I-5 / SR-56 interchange.
