La Costa real estate is fortunate to have so many lovely homes, but many wonder, “Where are the most expensive homes in La Costa?”
In all areas of coastal San Diego, the upper tiers of pricing will exceed $1 million–and for good reason. It’s all about location, perfect climate, the beaches, ocean views, interesting restaurants, generally excellent schools, and plentiful shopping.
And the homes in La Costa are no exception.
La Costa, at its western border, sits about two level miles to the beach. The hills rise beyond that border and many homes here have beautiful ocean views and colorful sunsets, Centerpoint for the area is the award-winning Omni La Costa Resort and Spa with its two golf courses, world-renowned 
tennis, one of the top spas in the world and the highly regarded Chopra Center. Surrounding the resort are custom homes situated around the La Costa golf course and the picturesque hills above which are blessed with mild ocean breezes and spectacular views.
There are currently 43 homes in La Costa priced at and above $1 million. Many are in the La Costa Villages of La Costa Oaks, La Costa Greens, La Costa Ridge and La Costa Valley. The most expensive homes on the market, though, are found in Carlsbad Ranch and the custom homes around and overlooking the La Costa Resort.
The most expensive home here is at 7965 Paseo Esmerada in the Ranch at $2.395 followed by followed by two on El Fuerte priced at $2.195 and $2.275.
Sales in the $1 million and up market in La Costa are strong, with 25 pending sales in this bracket and a total of 137 sales in the past year. The highest sale occurred at 7339 El Fuerte last summer and closed at $2.7 million.

We expect other beauties to come onto the market soon. For additional informtion, call Scott or Roberta Murphy at either 760-942-9100 or 760-613-6190.
