The district's interior is marked by a variety of recreational and cultural landmarks, most notably LEGOLAND California Resort.

Incorporating the Carlsbad Highlands Ecological Reserve, the district celebrates its natural heritage, providing ample opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and environmental education. This area is a highlight for those seeking to connect with nature and enjoy the outdoors.
The district's northern expansion up to the Oceanside border and its encompassment of the eastern half of northern Carlsbad allow for a blend of lifestyles and community dynamics, from coastal living to more suburban and tranquil residential areas.
Additionally, the Agua Hedionda Lagoon's northern trajectory contributes water-based recreation and conservation opportunities, enhancing the ecological diversity of the district. The southern boundary, marked by Palomar Airport Road and Poinsettia Lane, and the eastern edge abutting the city of San Marcos, round out the district's perimeters.
Key infrastructure such as The Crossings at Carlsbad golf course offers a high-quality golfing experience and serves as a social venue, while the McClellan-Palomar Airport underpins the district's connectivity and access to broader regions.
