Carlsbad is not so bad - great place to live, work - 3/29/2009 |

|
| My wife and I have a love affair with beautiful Carlsbad, CA. Just south of Oceanside CA, and in North San Diego County, Carlsbad offers great places to see, eating, hiking, and most of all some of the nicest beaches in the USA. Rarely did we experience hot weather in Carlsbad. You do get some overcast mornings and evenings, but the middle of those days are just great. We lived two blocks from the beach, and would walk there along the beach basically every day. Down sides were the train tracks that cut the town in half nearest the beach and the massive 5 freeway also very close to the beach. Although, this is really bareable. With the Flower Fields, the Carlsbad Shops (Outlet Mall), great little downtown with biannual street fair among other great events make Carlsbad one of the finer places to live, visit and enjoy.
