About Barrio

Barrio is Carlsbad’s historic neighborhood between Oak and Tamarack avenues, the railroad and I-5. Pine Avenue Park and the community center on Harding Street provide local recreation, while the Village’s shops and rail station lie to the north. The City treats Barrio and the Village as distinct neighborhoods.

The Hideaway at 3380 Harding Street offers one- and two-bedroom apartments across from Pine Avenue Park. The operator lists a shared laundry room, gated off-street parking, ceiling fans and dishwashers; patios are available in selected homes. F&F Properties answers property questions at 619-501-3222, including the parking allocation and charges for a particular apartment.
