ABOUT ARABELLA
NEIGHBORHOOD CHARM. EVERYDAY CONNECTION.
As one of the original neighborhoods within Pacific Highlands Ranch, Arabella has earned a reputation for its welcoming atmosphere, family-friendly design, and exceptional walkability. Developed by Pardee Homes between 2005 and 2007, this established community of 132 single-family homes continues to be one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Carmel Valley.
Located less than five miles from the Pacific Ocean, Arabella offers a lifestyle centered around connection and convenience. Residents enjoy easy access to schools, parks, trails, and everyday amenities, with The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch just a short walk away. Whether grabbing coffee, meeting friends for dinner, or running daily errands, many of life’s conveniences are right outside the neighborhood.
Arabella’s seven charming streets — Shasta Daisy Trail, Ginger Glen Trail, Cornflower Trail, Moonflower Meadows Trail, Cape Jewels Trail, Painted Nettles Glen, and Cullen Crest Trail — are woven into the broader Pacific Highlands Ranch trail system, creating opportunities for walking, biking, and enjoying the area’s year-round outdoor lifestyle.
Homes within Arabella offer thoughtfully designed floor plans ranging from approximately 2,007 to 2,453 square feet with three to five bedrooms. Spacious interiors, functional layouts, and manageable lot sizes have made the neighborhood appealing to a wide range of buyers seeking the comfort of a detached home within a connected community setting.
A hallmark of life in Arabella is access to the private West Highlands Pacific Recreation Center. Reserved exclusively for residents of select Pacific Highlands Ranch neighborhoods, the facility serves as a true community gathering place. Amenities include a Junior Olympic-sized pool, spa, fitness center, clubhouse, covered outdoor gathering areas with fireplaces, and a water play area for children.
Families are often drawn to Arabella for its proximity to highly regarded schools, neighborhood parks, and recreational amenities. The combination of walkability, community-focused design, and access to outdoor spaces creates a lifestyle that continues to resonate with residents years after the neighborhood’s development.
Arabella is governed by the West Highlands Pacific Homeowners Association, which maintains the community’s common areas and private recreational amenities.
For those seeking an established neighborhood with a strong sense of community, convenient access to everyday amenities, and the coastal lifestyle that has made Pacific Highlands Ranch so desirable, Arabella remains one of Carmel Valley’s most enduring favorites.
