One of North County’s top design attractions – Davidson’s three model homes at Arterro at La Costa in Carlsbad – have been released for sale and will be ready for occupancy in the first quarter of 2016. In two-story plans ranging from 3,928 to 4,577 square feet, Arterro’s three model homes showcase some of the finest contemporary architecture and interior merchandising in San Diego.

“The model complex at Arterro has been our showcase for ‘the Davidson Difference’, with visitors photographing even the smallest details,” said Cathie McGill, vice president of sales and marketing for Davidson Communities, who noted that last year, Arterro was named Southern California’s Best New Community of the Year.

Davidson is also selling new homes in Arterro’s final phases, including one single-story residence, and several large family homes offering up to six-and-a-half bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths.

Arterro’s floor plans reflect San Diego’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle, with oversized bi-fold doors and windows extending usable living space into the backyard. Designed to accommodate today’s flexible family configurations, every home offers a ground floor bedroom and connecting bath, ideal for a boomerang child, elderly grandparents or a nanny.
