Close proximity to Downtown San Diego, and close-knit community vibe. Located just off Interstate 15, the neighborhood has a gentle balance of Southern California glamour and small-town charm. In spite of its name, the community is actually closer to Black Mountain, whereas Carmel Mountain proper is 10 miles away. The area is headquarters to a major guitar and audio equipment corporation. Locals enjoy shopping at Carmel Mountain Plaza which features a variety of luxury retail stores, eateries, and a movie theater. Golfers will appreciate the local course, and the community park has a jungle gym, sports facilities, and fields.
