The Meadows Del Mar Homes for Sale
Guard-gated custom estates in Carmel Valley wrapped around the Fairmont Grand Del Mar and San Diego's only Tom Fazio-designed golf course, beside the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve.
About Meadows Del Mar
Meadows Del Mar, often called simply The Meadows and sometimes searched as Del Mar Meadows, is a guard-gated community of custom estates in the Del Mar Mesa area of Carmel Valley, San Diego 92130. Built in the early 2000s, its homes sit in West Gate and East Gate sections behind a staffed main gate, surrounding the Fairmont Grand Del Mar resort and The Grand Golf Club.
Few neighborhoods in San Diego share their streets with a resort of this caliber. The Fairmont Grand Del Mar holds Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond ratings, its restaurant Addison is San Diego's only three-Michelin-star restaurant, and the Tom Fazio-designed golf course winds between the homes. The course actually opened in 1999 under the Meadows Del Mar name before becoming The Grand Golf Club in 2006.
The setting is just as distinctive: the community borders the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, about five miles from the Pacific, so many estates look out over fairways, canyon, or both.
Despite the name, Meadows Del Mar is not in the City of Del Mar. It sits in Del Mar Mesa within Carmel Valley (San Diego 92130), about five miles inland. If you're searching closer to the beach, see homes for sale in the City of Del Mar.

The Resort Next Door
What sets Meadows Del Mar apart from every other gated community in 92130 is its neighbor. Three world-class names share the community's address.
The golf club is private and the resort is operated by Fairmont, so membership and access are separate from the Meadows Del Mar HOA. Ask Sez about current golf membership options before you buy.
