Carmel Valley

…one-horse town turned bio-tech hub


If you’d walked down Del Mar Heights Road in the 1970s, you wouldn’t have seen much: vast open space, a few horse farms, the horizon. Fast forward to the 80s and you can find apartments, condos and a smattering of housing developments. By the 90s, people are catching on and moving in…and now? Carmel Valley puts you smack-dab in the middle of the future, near Sorrento Mesa and Sorrento Valley’s high-tech and bio-tech firms, office and business parks.

Yet it’s not all work and technology for Carmel Valley professionals: the Community Park offers plenty of the area’s original open space, where residents can play ball, swim, hear summer concerts and putt on pristine greens. And if that’s still not enough open space, the beach is just a short drive away.
