Paso Robles Real Estate

Get Acquainted With Paso Robles

California Central Coast living has become very desirable, and yet real estate remains affordable by California coastal pricing standards. From rolling vineyards and wineries to horse ranches, from small-town ambience to nearby uncrowded beaches and pristine lakes, beauty abounds in the scenery along all of its highways and byways. People have chosen to relocate or retire in this area, because it is restful, secluded and rich with culture and history.

Paso Robles is a medium-sized town with about 30,000 residents, but the area from Paso to San Luis Obispo probably has about 100,000 residents if you include the country properties outside of city limits.

Paso’s City Park, which is a full city block, is surrounded by wine tasting rooms, restaurants, an ice creamery, candy shop, quaint dress shops and the cinemas. Every Friday night in the summer, there is a free live music concert in the park, and you’ll usually see about 600 – 1,000 people in their lawn chairs enjoying a simple dinner meal and a bottle of wine as the heat of the day wanes and becomes a comfortable 70 to 80 degrees. J. Lohr always has wine for sale by the glass, and there is usually at least one food vendor available should you not have time to fill your picnic basket, or you may wish to visit one of our fabulous restaurants.

Of course, we have our California Midstate Fair here at the Paso Robles Event Center in late July/early August, which is winding down right now.

Also, it is only about a 30-minute drive to the coast from Paso Robles. If it is hot in Paso, then it is easy to get to the beach where you will enjoy temperatures of 70 to 80 degrees on a hot day. Each beach town has much to offer such as Morro Bay, Cayucos, Cambria and San Simeon where the Hearst Castle is located. All have wonderful restaurants, art galleries and pristine, uncrowded beaches to visit.

Cuesta Jr College North County in Paso offers a pretty wide array of classes for the young and the not-so-young (I consider myself one of these) during the weekdays and evenings.

So, you see, you will never get bored, and with very nice single-family homes available in the $400,000 range, you can’t go wrong. And remember, you are only 4 hours from San Francisco or Los Angeles if you get the itch to visit the big city, and 2 hours from Monterey and Santa Barbara. Life just doesn’t get much better than this…

My areas of specialization include single family homes, retirement homes, ranches, vineyards and olive orchards in North San Luis Obispo County, which includes Paso Robles, Templeton, Atascadero, Creston, San Miguel and Santa Margarita. Since I have owned and bred horses, I have special expertise at identifying horse-friendly parcels and facilities.

I also hold the SRES Designation, Senior Real Estate Specialist, and ePRO Designation, so if I can be of any assistance to you in your search for a perfect retirement home or the sale of your current home, please contact me via email, call me at (805) 235-0234 or visit my website for more information on Paso Robles, California real estate.

It starts with a dream…
