Carmel Valley

 

Carmel Valley is a planned community in northwestern San Diego, California. Established in 1975, actual development started in 1983. Before its set up by the San Diego government, the area was called "Carmel Valley" after the Roman Catholic Carmelite Sisters of Mercy founded a monastery and a dairy farm in the valley. First called "North City West," this name was abolished and the name Carmel Valley stuck.

 

The renamed community is situated around 20 miles north of San Diego city limits, with easy access to the beach and prime shopping and entertainment opportunities in La Jolla and Del Mar, plus downtown San Diego. Developing into an affluent neighborhood radiating old-world charm with the comforts of modernity for residents and visitors.
