Anchored by the Cowles Mountain and Lake Murray, San Carlos serves as a relaxed getaway from the city. Surrounded by natural beauty, San Carlos is filled with green space for residents to enjoy like the Mission Trails Regional Park and Lake Murray Community Park. The neighborhood is defined by California-style ranch houses and Mediterranean-style apartments, and many homes have scenic views of the lake or Cowles Mountain. Compared to other areas in San Diego, San Carlos tends to have more affordable rental options. Combined with affordability, families are attracted to San Carlos for its excellent schools. There are a few restaurants and shops along Navajo and Jackson Drive but there are several large shopping centers nearby as well. Although San Carlos is a great option for renters seeking a quieter locale, the neighborhood boasts an excellent location and is convenient to Downtown San Diego, the University of California San Diego, La Jolla, and Mission Bay, which are all about a 25-minute drive away.
