San Diego’s real estate market is still booming, and 2025 is bringing some exciting new communities across the county. Whether you’re looking for a coastal luxury home, a spacious single-family residence, or a modern townhome in a growing area, there’s something for everyone.
If you’re considering buying new construction, here are six of the most talked-about new developments in San Diego that you’ll want to keep an eye on!
The Hill District – San Marcos
San Marcos has been one of the fastest-growing areas in North County, and The Hill District is the latest addition. Built by Lennar and Shea Homes, this new development features modern single-family homes with prices starting in the $800Ks.
What makes this community stand out is its prime location next to North City San Marcos, a growing urban hub with trendy restaurants, shops, and a walkable downtown feel. If you’re looking for newer homes in North County with easy access to great amenities, this is a solid choice.
North River Farms – Oceanside
Oceanside continues to expand and evolve, and North River Farms is one of the newest single-family home communities coming to the area.
- Prices start in the low $1 millions
- Homes range from 2,200 to 4,700 square feet
- Located in a growing coastal city with new restaurants and shopping
Oceanside has become one of the most in-demand cities in North County, with major growth in its food scene, coastal development, and infrastructure. If you’re looking for a larger home with a coastal lifestyle, this could be the perfect fit.
The Cove – Encinitas
New construction in Encinitas is rare, which is why The Cove is attracting a lot of attention.
- Only 42 single-family homes available
- Prices start at $2.3 million
- Home sizes range from 1,600 to 4,000 square feet
With Encinitas being one of the most desirable beach cities in San Diego, demand for new builds is always high. The Cove is expected to sell fast, much like Fox Point Farms, another recent new-build community in the area. If you want luxury near the coast, this is a development to watch.
The Nest at La Costa – Carlsbad
Carlsbad’s La Costa area hasn’t seen much new construction in recent years, but that’s changing with The Nest at La Costa.
- 76 attached townhomes will be sold
- 2 to 4-bedroom options available
- Prices range from $900K to $1.1M
This is a rare opportunity to get into a brand-new home in one of Carlsbad’s most desirable neighborhoods. With easy access to top-rated schools, golf courses, and shopping, this community is expected to be in high demand.
3 Roots – Sorrento Mesa
If you’re looking for modern, eco-friendly homes in a central location, 3 Roots in Sorrento Mesa is worth checking out.
- Designed for sustainability with green-certified homes
- Located near major tech hubs like Qualcomm and biotech companies
- Community features parks, fitness centers, and walking trails
Construction at 3 Roots has been ongoing for a couple of years, but the community is still about a year away from full completion. If you’re looking for a brand-new home in an energy-efficient, master-planned community, this one should be on your radar.
The Junipers – Rancho Peñasquitos (55+ Community)
For those looking for a 55+ community, The Junipers in Rancho Peñasquitos is a fantastic option.
- Built by Lennar
- Age-restricted community with modern single-family homes
- Located in a quiet, established neighborhood
This development has been in the works for a couple of years, but homes are still being released, and full completion is expected in the near future. My in-laws actually bought a home here last year, and they’ve been really happy with it! If you’re looking for a new-build community designed specifically for active adults, this is one to consider.
Thinking About Buying New Construction? Here’s What to Know!
If you’re considering buying a new construction home, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:
✅ Hidden Costs – Builders often advertise a base price, but upgrades, lot premiums, and HOA fees can add up fast.
✅ Builder Incentives – Some developers offer closing cost credits, rate buydowns, or design upgrades—make sure you negotiate!
✅ Completion Timelines – Some communities are still a year or more away from full completion, so plan accordingly.
