Carmel Valley's homes are almost entirely recent construction, since residential building did not begin until 1983, when the area's farms started giving way to planned subdivisions. ## What Carmel Valley does to a home appliance. The community was originally planned in 1974 under the name North City West and designed to hold about 40,000 residents before locals renamed it Carmel Valley in 1991. The neighborhood's name traces to a dairy farm and monastery the Sisters of Mercy established around 1905 in lower McGonigle Canyon, naming a nearby hill Mount Carmel. Because the community was built out on a single master plan rather than block by block over decades, most homes share a similar age and similar-generation utility systems.
