I go way back with the listing agents Maxine and Marti here – we all worked for Jerry Campbell back in the day when Mike Ferry (not Tom) was just starting out and he came to our office to conduct one of his first Action Workshops in person. He told me once, “You know why you’re not married? Because no woman has decided to marry you yet.”
Here’s a sky shot of the South Carlsbad/Encinitas region in 1967. The La Costa Resort opened in 1965 (in the center of the photo) and another nine holes was added on the north end in 1984.

Leucadia Blvd. didn’t go through until later, and Rancho Santa Fe Road goes up through San Marcos but there isn’t much else east of El Camino Real!

The multi-gen buyers would love a house like this!
Every seller west of the 5 is going to expect $4-something now:
Fox Point Farms is a new “Agrihood” community spanning approximately 21.5-acre in the City of Encinitas. The site will provide 250 new residential units, including a mix of 53 for-sale cottages, carriage units, and townhomes, as well as 197 apartments. Of these units, 39 are set aside as “very low” (at or below 50 percent of area median income) affordable residential units.
The site features a number of unique and engaging amenities, including edible landscaping, community gardens, trails, a bocce court, social spaces, a community library, and a community recreation center. The project will also include a shared public/private agricultural amenity area including a farm-to-table restaurant, farm stand, event lawns, discovery garden, greenhouse and community work area, and an outdoor education patio. The northern portion of the project site will remain in agricultural use, serving as an organic farm operation.
More review of the latest developments in Leucadia as I cruise by the next Toll Brothers community and take a look at what the planning commission just approved:
The 3.79-acre project site, which is just south of the Alila Marea hotel on N. Coast Highway, is proposed to contain 94 apartments, of which 19 will be set aside for low-income people. There’s also a 34-unit hotel that will be connected via bridge to the existing resort. Some of the apartments will be built over a parking structure, others will be above commercial space. The commercial areas could contain everything from an ice cream shop to high-end restaurants.
