SALES RISE AS SUNSHINE SUMMONS BUYERS
TO VILLAGE BY THE SEA IN CARLSBAD VILLAGE

After more than two weeks of rain storms earlier this month, the beautiful winter sunshine that California is known for has brought numerous homebuyers to Village By The Sea, Anastasi Development Company's new upscale community located in vibrant Carlsbad Village. The resulting swift sales have left just a limited number of residences remaining in the current phase. Village By The Sea is the only new home community for sale in Carlsbad Village, and buyers are anxious to own a home situated just steps from the ocean and a short stroll from the village’s many charming cafés and boutiques. Interested individuals who are dreaming of the casual elegance of a beach lifestyle offered by this fabulous community should visit Village By The Sea very soon before home sale prices rise with the release of the next phase, reports Vallery DeVilbiss, sales manager for Village By The Sea. “Because everyone knows how spectacular a beautiful sunny day at the coast can be, the gorgeous weather is luring homebuyers to our exquisite development,” says DeVilbiss. “We are seeing many buyers that own homes inland away from the coast, and also in Los Angeles, who plan

on using Village By The Sea as their second luxury vacation home at the shore. We’re also seeing buyers who are downsizing from the large homes where they raised their families, and now want the freedom and flexibility that living in a elegant townhome can bring, without the enormous expense and ordeal involved in keeping up a large home. “With Spring and warmer weather just around the corner, our sales will skyrocket even further,” continues DeVilbiss. “This will be especially true with the release of our next phase of exquisite Village By The Sea homes. Scheduled for release in mid-February, this phase will offer our largest deluxe floorplan as well as actual ocean views. We know of many interested buyers just waiting for these homes to be released for sale.” Village By The Sea introduces modern luxury living to Carlsbad’s enchanting enclave nestled by the ocean. Featuring a wonderful collection of luxury townhomes priced from the high $700,000s, Village By The Sea is constructed with an architectural design that fits superbly within Carlsbad’s unique village. The homes feature distinct open floorplans, ranging from two and three bedroom units with two to two-and-a-half bathrooms. More than just a premier home community, Village By The Sea offers the ultimate lifestyle, one of contemporary luxury. In addition to its prime positioning within Carlsbad Village, Village By The Sea’s incomparable location between Los Angeles and San Diego lets residents enjoy everything these cities have to offer, all while living an ideal beachside existence. Village By The Sea is an unparalleled opportunity for homebuyers seeking an exciting active lifestyle.

“Our buyers are enamored with Village By The Sea’s convenient location only a short walk to the Carlsbad Village train station,” adds DeVilbiss. “Village By The Sea residents are already experiencing the quintessential California lifestyle just a stone's throw away from the beach and only steps from the lovely Carlsbad Village amenities, yet a train ride can conveniently deposit them back into Los Angeles or San Diego. However, we know from experience that once buyers encounter what life can be like at Village By The Sea, they don’t want to leave.” Village By The Sea is designed for residents who want to live a relaxed lifestyle, free from the busy and noisy hubbub of a big city. Yet its convenience to San Diego and Los Angeles strikes the perfect balance between the excitement of a hip urban environment, and the relaxation and tranquility of an ocean setting. For that reason, Village By The Sea has seen great interest from second-home buyers, those looking to spend their leisure time far from the craze of the city and then easily return to real life when the weekend is over. Not only can Village By The Sea boast of a location in one of Southern California’s most desirable vacation destinations, its townhomes are filled with standard exceptional amenities, such as fireplaces, granite countertops, marble and hardwood flooring, extensive use of recessed lighting, and an upgraded stainless steel Whirlpool® appliance package. In addition, Village By The Sea offers a large array of community features such as a whirlpool spa, fitness center with workout equipment, and a fully furnished community room with a big screen television and library, as well as a putting green set among lush community landscaping.
