Like writer Robert Luis Stevenson, who lived in Monterey, real estate owners can also sense a "haunting presence of the oceans" with the cry of gulls or the tang of salt in the air. Monterey home owners can take a morning stroll along the beautiful beach, or along the Monterey Peninsula Recreation Trail. One of the prettiest stretches runs from the justifiably famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, about a mile out to Lovers Point, which is a small grassy peninsula. Listen to the water crash on the rocky coast as the sun sets.
In Monterey, it is easy to sail or kayak among the sea lions. A temperate climate means that if you buy a Monterey home you will be able to pursue outdoor activities year round. If you are looking for Monterey real estate, you can find everything from spectacular ocean view villas to smart condominiums. Monterey's 30,000 homeowners enjoy all the advantages of a city, but with the charm of a seaside village.
Every fourth grader in Monterey's quality school system knows that Monterey was once the capital of California. It is jam-packed with history, much of it on view in the city's old adobe buildings. Founded in 1770, Monterey is a former seat of government under Spanish, Mexican and American rule. Visit the Monterey State Historic Park for a glimpse of California's political past. It was at the nearby Colton Hall is now part of the Civic Center that in 1849 the state's first constitution was written in English and Spanish.
Monterey also has a storied past as a trading and whaling center. A good place to explore the city's days as a seafaring capital is the Monterey Maritime and History Museum. In addition, Monterey also has a rich literary past. You can see the desk in his Monterey home where Robert Louis Stevenson reputedly jotted down ideas for "Treasure Island." The fish canneries that inspired John Steinbeck's Cannery Row have evolved into gift shops and restaurants, but you can still watch each morning as the fishermen unload their catches at Fisherman's Wharf. "Life on Cannery Row was curious and dear and outrageous," Steinbeck wrote.
Monterey also has a rich cultural life. The most important event takes place each September, when the city plays host to a jubilant jazz festival that features many big-name performers. If you don't already own a Monterey home, make sure to book a room in one of the beautiful Monterey inns or hotels.

"Are you looking for a place to purchase in Santa Cruz? Call Gregg. He is a true professional, and he makes you feel like you are his only client. He is available at the drop of a hat to show a property on your schedule, and his website is easy to use. My husband and I just purchased a condo in Santa Cruz with the help of Gregg. I do not have much experience with real estate, but I have a lot of experience with customer service. The attention we received from Gregg during this process was top-notch. He knows so much about everything pertaining to the housing market, the Santa Cruz County area real estate inventory, the pros and cons of the types of properties and the areas they are in. When looking at homes, he noticed and pointed out the flaws and the benefits for every property. He is personally acquainted with most realtors in town, which helps when showing homes. He followed up with us routinely, answered and returned every single call promptly, and made thorough and thoughtful recommendations. He made suggestions during the lending process that were so helpful. When we closed on our property, timing of our move was and issue, and Gregg offered his truck and other accommodations to help the transition. Gregg uses his experience to help a buyer every single step of the way. If you DO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION and call Gregg, listen and follow his advice through the process. YOU CAN TRUST he is acting for you and that he truly has your best interests in mind."
