Tucked away on a cul-de-sac west of I-5 and west of the train tracks, this rare Carlsbad duplex offers the ultimate Southern California lifestyle just a short walk from the sand. Located within walking distance to Carlsbad State Beach, Tamarack Surf Beach, the Carlsbad Lagoon, and the vibrant shops/restaurants of Carlsbad Village, 393 Date Ave is a prime opportunity to live, invest, or develop in one of North County’s most desirable coastal communities. The property features two beautifully upgraded units with a relaxed coastal design. The front unit offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms across approximately 1,125 square feet, while the back unit features one bedroom and one bathroom at approximately 651 square feet. A detached bonus “Surf Shack” provides additional flexibility—perfect as a home office, guest room, creative space, or extra storage. The backyard is an entertainer’s dream with a built-in BBQ, cozy fire pit, and plenty of space to enjoy warm ocean breezes and starry nights. Zoned RM-D, this property offers exceptional development upside with the potential to add two detached ADUs in addition to the existing duplex—and possibly a bonus ADU. Whether you’re looking to live in one unit and rent the other, operate a full investment property near Legoland, the beach, and downtown attractions, or explore development potential, the possibilities are endless. The front unit is currently a vacation rental and the back unit is a long term rental. With strong income potential, a walkable location, and rare zoning flexibility, this coastal Carlsbad gem is not to be missed.
