ABOUT CARMEL
MODERN CALIFORNIA. ELEVATED LIVING.
Carmel represents the pinnacle of single-family living within Pacific Highlands Ranch. Developed by Pardee Homes, now operating as Tri Pointe Homes, and completed in 2020, this thoughtfully designed community of 104 detached single-family homes brings a distinctly modern California aesthetic to Carmel Valley — defined by clean architectural lines, expansive interiors, and a refined sense of everyday luxury.
As the newest and largest neighborhood within Pacific Highlands Ranch, Carmel occupies a unique position in the community. Homes are situated along welcoming residential streets including Morning Sage Way, Wildstar Trail, Chestnut Court, Starlight Court, and Sage Court, creating an intimate neighborhood feel within a larger master-planned environment.
Floor plans within Carmel range from approximately 3,716 to 4,998 square feet and typically feature four to six bedrooms — making these among the most generously sized homes in all of Pacific Highlands Ranch. Thoughtfully designed great rooms and chef-caliber kitchens flow seamlessly into outdoor spaces, while versatile bonus rooms provide the flexibility modern families need to work, study, and entertain at home.
Residents of Carmel enjoy access to two private recreation centers: The Club at Pacific Highlands Ranch and The Club at Lopelia Meadows. Together, these amenity-rich destinations offer resort-style pools and spas, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, and beautifully designed gathering spaces — all available exclusively to residents of the community.
Situated within over 1,300 acres of protected open space, Carmel offers an unmatched connection to the natural landscape of Carmel Valley. Hiking and biking trails wind through the surrounding canyons and hillsides, providing a natural retreat just steps from home.
Families are drawn to Carmel in part for its access to highly regarded schools. The neighborhood is served by the Solana Beach School District and San Dieguito Union High School District, with students attending Carmel Creek Elementary or Solana Pacific Elementary, Pacific Trails Middle School, and either Canyon Crest Academy or Torrey Pines High School.
Day-to-day conveniences are equally well served. The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch — with its shops, restaurants, fitness studios, and services — is just moments away. One Paseo, Del Mar Highlands Town Center, and the beaches of Del Mar are all easily accessible, offering a full coastal California lifestyle.
For buyers seeking new construction luxury, expansive floor plans, and a premier address within Carmel Valley’s most sought-after master-planned community, Carmel offers a rare combination of quality, scale, and location.
