Torrey Highlands Homes For Sale
A 1,134-acre master plan along the SR-56 corridor — home to gated estate enclaves, family neighborhoods, and some of the top-rated Poway Unified schools in San Diego.
Torrey Highlands is one of Carmel Valley's most quietly desirable corners — a master-planned community approved by San Diego voters in 1996 and built out through the 2000s, with State Route 56 running through its center. Only half of its 1,134 acres was set aside for housing; the rest went to parks, canyon open space, schools, and a village center, giving the neighborhood a spacious, well-organized feel.
What makes Torrey Highlands distinctive is its range. Within a short drive you'll find the guard-gated custom estates of Fairbanks Highlands, the intimate gated luxury of Collins Ranch, and a cluster of detached single-family enclaves — collectively known as Torrey Del Mar — each built by a different homebuilder with its own architecture and character. Whether you're searching for Torrey Highlands homes with acreage and privacy or a family home near award-winning schools, the choices here reward a closer look.

Torrey Highlands includes the guard-gated Fairbanks Highlands and gated Collins Ranch, plus a cluster of detached neighborhoods often grouped as Torrey Del Mar — Maricel, Terrazzo, Palma Real, Villamontes, and the Valencia Collection.

What school district serves Torrey Highlands?
