The city of Carlsbad rose over 25% from the year 2000 to 2009. This is quite a significant change, and is also a change which indicates that this location is a desirable one indeed. The beautiful beaches are an important part of the identity of this city. Each beach is well maintained, with most offering lifeguards, restrooms, and picnic areas.

The city of Carlsbad offers plenty in the way of entertainment. Art lovers are sure to enjoy the city's art gallery, as well as the sculpture garden.

Water activities also take place year round. 
 
In addition to the beaches, there are lagoons that are excellent fishing spots. Hiking the extensive city trail system is a favorite pastime of many residents.

Both the median home value and home age are below the state average. As of 2009, the median home or condo value was $612,200.
