The Groves Townhomes For Sale in Carmel Valley

160 gated residences built by Pardee Homes — spacious layouts, resort amenities, no Mello-Roos, and a location steps from Del Mar Highlands and One Paseo.

About The Groves in Carmel Valley

The Groves is one of West Carmel Valley's most consistently sought-after townhome communities — a gated enclave of 160 residences built by Pardee Homes in the early 2000s, located just off El Camino Real between Del Mar Highlands Town Center and One Paseo. It occupies one of the most convenient addresses in the entire 92130 zip code: walkable to two of San Diego's premier outdoor shopping and dining destinations, yet tucked behind a gate that keeps the community quiet and low-traffic.

What separates The Groves from comparable West Carmel Valley communities is the combination of scale and financial structure. At 160 homes with no Mello-Roos, it offers larger floor plans than communities like Elysian or Crest Del Mar, without the ongoing CFD assessment that many similarly-priced neighborhoods carry. The resort amenities — pool, spa, fitness center, and clubhouse — round out a package that is difficult to match at this price point in 92130.

No Mello-Roos at The Groves

Unlike many West Carmel Valley communities built around the same era, The Groves carries no CFD (Mello-Roos) assessment. At nearby communities, this can add $500–$800+ per year to your carrying cost. Over a 10-year ownership period, that's a meaningful difference — and it's one of the first things buyers ask about when comparing The Groves to its neighbors.

The Groves Homes & Pricing

Homes at The Groves range from 1,200 to 1,600 sq. ft. with 2–3 bedrooms and 2-car attached garages. Layouts feature open floor plans, high ceilings, gourmet kitchens, and private patios — finishes that hold up well compared to the community's early-2000s construction date. Many homes have been updated with hardwood floors, quartz countertops, and modern fixtures.

Prices at The Groves typically range from approximately $900,000 to $1.5 million, depending on floor plan, location within the community, and renovation level. The HOA fee runs approximately $350–$450/month and covers resort amenities, landscaping, and exterior maintenance. With no Mello-Roos, the total monthly cost of ownership compares very favorably to communities where CFD fees add $50–$70/month on top of HOA. Contact Sez Sezer for current listings and a detailed cost-of-ownership comparison.
