12291 Carmel Vis Rd

The Lakes at Carmel Del Mar is a low-rise, single-story condo community built in 1985 and set around landscaped waterways, ponds and walking streams. Units are primarily one-bedroom flats and some two-bedroom plans with lofts; many feature vaulted or cathedral ceilings, open floor plans, recessed lighting, balconies or patios, and in-unit laundry or patio laundry hookups. Interiors show a mix of updates — quartz or granite counters, stainless appliances, luxury vinyl or laminate floors, mirrored closets and plantation shutters — alongside original details like 5" baseboards and fireplaces in select homes. Outdoors the property offers resort-style common areas: multiple pools and spas, a clubhouse, tennis courts, BBQs, charging stations for EVs, covered assigned parking with storage closets, and abundant guest parking. Grounds are park-like with mature landscaping, water features and easy pedestrian access to nearby retail, dining and beaches. The community’s scale, single-level circulation in many homes, and proximity to Torrey Pines schools and One Paseo create a suburban coastal living experience within Carmel Valley.
