Often when Chris gets started with a buyer, he will take them in the car and show the different areas explaining what they will get, what the weather is like, and so on.
Every one of those communities, offer a different experience. It also helps to see why the property values are the way they are from area to area.
Morro Bay is a quaint fishing village situated on one of California's rarer natural harbors.
Majestic Morro Rock rises almost 600 feet above the crashing surf. It is a prominent landmark that can be seen for miles.
The Embarcadero waterfront area is a popular tourist attraction. With many restaurants, shops, parks, and other items of interest, it is a focal point for tourism in the area.
Morro Bay State Park features a championship 18-hole golf course, a yacht harbor, the natural history museum, and hundreds of acres of natural splendor. Included is the Morro Bay sand spit, a vast estuary system, and hundreds of acres of coastal land with spectacular vistas.
With a population of a little over 10,000 people, Morro Bay combines a friendly small town atmosphere with the shopping convenience a small city can provide.
An incorporated city since 1964, Morro Bay is one of the few coastal towns which provides all of its local services.
Cayucos is one of California's last original beach towns. With it's scenic cove being a natural seaport, Cayucos had its beginnings in the days of whaling ships and Spanish land grants.
Surrounded by pastoral undeveloped hillsides, Cayucos is a small town where everyone is close to the beach. With a population of under 4000 people, traffic, crime, and other big city vices are not to be found here.
Cayucos has long enjoyed a reputation as a favorite vacation getaway for residents of the San Joaquin Valley. With its unspoiled beaches, authentic wooden pier, and beautiful sunsets, Cayucos leaves an impression sure to last.
Los Osos is one of the Central Coast best kept secrets.A tree studded community of approximately 15,000 residents, Los Osos has much to offer.
It is bordered by Montana de Oro State Park, Morro Bay State Park, the bay and tidal wetlands. In the middle of Los Osos is the hamlet of Baywood Park, featuring a community pier, shops and restaurants, and sandy beaches along the Bay.
San Luis Obispo is a cultural delight, college town, county seat and hub of San Luis Obispo County.
Home of Cal Poly state University and Cuesta College, this historic city has a population of 42,000 people.
With one of California's original missions still in use in the heart of the downtown, the city is steeped in history. Gracious old Victorian homes surround the vibrant downtown area. One of few cities which has survived urban sprawl, San Luis Obispo's major shopping areas are in its downtown as well.
With perhaps more movie screens and restaurants per capita than found in most major metropolitan areas, San Luis Obispo is the cultural hub of the County. It is a 10 to 20 minute drive from many of the County's communities, including Cayucos, Morro Bay, and Los Osos.
Every Thursday night there is the farmers market, one of the first, running continuously since 1982. There you'll find street food, fresh produce, music and performance, and late evening shopping. And you are bound to find someone you know.
