92130
Including Core of Carmel Valley, Carmel Country Highlands, Del Mar Mesa,
Pacific Highlands Ranch, Torrey Del Mar & Vicinity, Torrey Hills, Surrounding Areas
The 92130 Zip Code, formerly known solely as Carmel Valley, now encompasses eight communities: Carmel Country Highlands, the core of Carmel Valley which includes North and South of Del Mar Heights Road, Del Mar Mesa, Rancho Pacifica, Pacific Highlands Ranch, Torrey Del Mar and Vicinity and Torrey Hills. One of the newer zip codes in the city of San Diego, the area lies near Interstate-5, Del Mar and just a short distance from the ocean. The easy access from I-5 and SR-56, combined with the family-friendly lifestyle, has made it a favorite residential location for people who love living on the coast but don’t want to pay Del Mar and La Jolla prices.
Development of the residential areas began in 1983, and there are now a variety of luxury homes, condominiums and apartments available. There are approximately 16,000 homes and condos, and the residents are executives and professionals who often work in nearby Sorrento Valley’s high-tech and bio-tech firms. In total there are approximately 5,783 attached condominiums and 10,098 single family detached homes in 92130. Most of the jobs in the area are in research, medical and business centers. Due to the proximity of the University of California and Scripps Medical Centers, staff and students live here, attracting the activities of intellectuals:
movies, plays, galleries, great restaurants, shops, and night life.
92130 has become a new legal power hub and center for business services. At least two dozen law firms are now clustered along the High Bluff Drive and El Camino Real, making the 92130 zip code a premium locale that encompasses some of the priciest office space in San Diego County. Many of the new law offices represent satellite operations for large firms with hundreds of attorneys in offices nationwide and even overseas. The big law firms moving into the area are targeting San Diego’s lucrative corporate work, such as intellectual property, copyright and patent law, focused on protecting the proprietary science and technology and underlie San
Diego’s proliferation of wireless, software, biotechnology, and health science companies.
The schools in 92130 are a big draw for families. In 2013, the last time the state’s Academic Performance Index (API) was conducted out of the 437 public elementary schools in San Diego County, all of the elementary schools score near the top. The API is a numeric index ranging from a low of 200 to a high of 1000 that reflects a school’s performance level, based on the results of statewide testing. At the same time Carmel Valley Middle School ranked #1 and two of the four high schools were ranked in the top 10.
Residents are active and take advantage of the area’s open space to bike, skate, walk and run. The Carmel Valley Community Park offers a sport facility that includes playing fields, a swimming pool and a gym. The nearby popular and massive Bay Club offers its members aquatics, badminton, athletics, fitness, racquetball and squash, tennis, social events, spa, nutrition, child care and physical therapy.
Summer concerts are held in several locations in 92130. The famous Torrey Pines Golf Course and the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve are close by, where you find one of two strands of the endangered Torrey Pine Tree. The Pacific Ocean is minutes away, so swimming, surfing, and beach activities are plentiful. There is excellent neighborhood shopping, and commuter train service is available from the Sorrento Valley station a couple of miles to the south or to the north in Solana Beach.
Many of the communities in 92130 include the levy of a special tax (Mello-Roos), which is usually added to the annual property tax bills over a 20-25 year period. When Prop. 13 passed in 1978, it limited the ability of local governments to use property taxes to construct public facilities and services. The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, authored by California congressmen Mello and Roos, enabled “Community Facilities Districts” to be established by local governments as a means of obtaining crucial community funding for schools, public roads, storm sewers and water mains, police and fire stations, ambulance services, public libraries, parks, museums and cultural facilities.

South of Del Mar Heights Road – Neighborhoods 92130
CARMEL VALLEY CORE North of Del Mar Heights Road & South of Del Mar Heights Road
The earliest settlers were California Indians who left artifacts along th
e Carmel Creek bed. A Spanish soldier named the area Cordero, and early American settlers named other areas after themselves, such as McGonigle Canyon. The name Carmel Valley comes from the Carmelite Sisters of Mercy, who established a dairy farm and monastery in 1905. Although the area was known locally as Carmel Valley, in 1974 the area was given the institutional name North City West in the master plan. The core of Carmel Valley was formed by the City of San Diego in 1975. The name Carmel Valley was readopted in the early 1990’s. The first building stage started in
this area around 1983. The area between here and Rancho Pacifica is reserved for open space and no building or development is permitted.
