ABOUT ALMERIA
ELEVATED DESIGN. EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE.
Tucked within the northern reaches of Pacific Highlands Ranch, Almeria is one of Carmel Valley’s most distinctive residential enclaves. Developed by Pardee Homes in 2017, this intimate neighborhood of just 80 single-family homes blends timeless architecture with modern design, creating a community that feels both refined and approachable.
What immediately distinguishes Almeria is its architectural character. The neighborhood thoughtfully combines Spanish-inspired influences with modern farmhouse design, pairing traditional elements such as stucco exteriors and clay tile roofs with clean lines, board-and-batten detailing, and contemporary interiors. The result is a streetscape that feels elegant, cohesive, and enduring rather than trend-driven.
Set along Sagebrush Bend Way, Artisan Way, Marble River Road, and Sunrose Crest Way, Almeria enjoys one of the most convenient locations within Pacific Highlands Ranch. Residents are just steps from Solana Ranch Park, the West Highland Pacific Recreation Center, and Solana Ranch Elementary School. The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch is also within easy walking distance, offering an effortless connection to everyday conveniences, restaurants, fitness studios, and neighborhood gathering spaces.
Homes within Almeria are among the largest in Pacific Highlands Ranch, offering spacious two-story floor plans designed for modern family living. Residences feature approximately 3,800 to 4,600 square feet of living space with four to five bedrooms, expansive great rooms, generous kitchens, flexible bonus spaces, and thoughtfully designed indoor-outdoor living areas. Many homes were built to accommodate evolving lifestyles, with spaces that can serve as home offices, guest suites, playrooms, fitness rooms, or multigenerational living areas.
Beyond the homes themselves, residents enjoy access to The Club at Lopelia Meadows, an exclusive private recreation center shared by a select collection of Pacific Highlands Ranch neighborhoods. Amenities include a resort-style pool and spa, fitness center, lounge areas, and a wading pool, providing opportunities for recreation, relaxation, and community connection throughout the year.
One of Almeria’s most appealing attributes is its proximity to the extensive network of parks, trails, and preserved open space that defines Pacific Highlands Ranch. Residents enjoy convenient access to miles of walking and biking trails, neighborhood parks, and nearby natural preserves, creating countless opportunities to enjoy Southern California’s year-round outdoor lifestyle.
Families are often drawn to Almeria for its access to highly regarded public schools within the Solana Beach School District and San Dieguito Union High School District. Depending on current attendance boundaries, students may attend Solana Ranch Elementary School, Pacific Trails Middle School, Canyon Crest Academy, or Torrey Pines High School. School enrollment and attendance boundaries should always be verified directly with the applicable school district.
The neighborhood also offers exceptional connectivity to some of North County’s most popular destinations. One Paseo, Del Mar Highlands Town Center, and the beaches of Del Mar are all just minutes away, while nearby State Route 56 and Interstate 5 provide convenient access to major employment centers throughout San Diego County.
Almeria is governed by the Pacific Highlands Ranch North Homeowners Association and is subject to Mello-Roos assessments. For buyers seeking a newer luxury home within Pacific Highlands Ranch, Almeria offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, spacious floor plans, walkable amenities, and access to some of the area’s most desirable schools and recreational facilities.
