Monterey, California Real Estate

Monterey, California’s rich history, natural beauty, culture, and acclaimed educational facilities, make this city a great place to call home. The coastal town offers the best of California living; its 30,000 residents not only get to enjoy one of the state’s most beautiful bays, but they also have the benefit of being centrally located, only 115 miles south of San Francisco and 350 miles north of Los Angeles. Not that there is much reason to leave Monterey; the city features its own “big-town” amenities, such as galleries and museums, dining and shopping, as well as performance arts venues and city festivals.

For those who want to relocate to Monterey, the real estate market is brimming with opportunity. Real estate in Monterey includes a wide range of condominiums, townhouses and single family homes that will appeal to people from all walks of life, whether you are a first time homebuyer or a seasoned investor. Condominiums in Monterey typically cost between $250,000 and $1.5 million, and offer maintenance-free living with perks, including pools and spas, tennis courts and fitness centers. The most upscale residences also feature impeccable views of the bay that tend to “seal the deal” for many homebuyers. Single family homes in Monterey range in style from cute, cozy cottage bungalows to newly constructed classic contemporary homes. Prices range from the low $400,000s to over $4.5 million, depending on the size and location of the home. Homebuyers can typically find larger homes for less as they move inland, whereas the most expensive luxury homes are often waterfront properties.

Come and see why so many people love Monterey; the city’s booming market and expert real estate agents will make it easier than ever to find your next dream home in Monterey, CA.
