About this House

Great location near DLI, MIIS and Downtown Monterey.
A few blocks up the hill from Downtown Monterey, Fisherman's Wharf and the Monterey Recreation Trail. The Monterey Recreation Trail is a popular trail among walker, runners and bicyclists that follow along Monterey Bay to Pacific Grove or travel the opposite direction to Del Monte Beach, NPS and beyond.

Prior to the Coronavirus lockdown, we could Enjoy fresh fruits and vegetable at the Farmer's Market on Tuesdays in Downtown Monterey. In the summer, feast and enjoy in the activities at the Custom House Plaza (in front of Fisherman's Wharf). There seemed to be some kind of festival almost every weekend in the summer. Afterwards, visit the Monterey Sports Center in Downtown to work off everything you ate.

Thought the school itself seems aged the staff is wonderful and very easy to communicate with. My children love their school and are full of school spirit and pride. The faculty really seems to make the absolute most out of what they have. Cheers to principal Dr Ashby and all of the lovely faculty.

"You see dogs walking with their owners all the time. And most owners are conscientious about picking up the poop left by their dogs. Monterey is a dog-friendly community. "

"This is Old Town Monterey. Spaghetti Hill, settled by Italian fishermen whose founding families ply their trade to this day. The Defense Language Institute above. The small downtown below. The original capital of California. Lots of history and events. Big Sur,Pinnacles, etc. This is Steinbeck country. If you can afford it, it’s great."

"My daughter lives with her husband and my ex-wife lives in Sonoma near Morton’s pool. I live in Monterey which is a beautiful area but gets crowded all summer (and much of the rest of the year) with tourists for the many events they offer. When I came out to visit, the older houses and natural areas made me decide to commit to moving out here."
