Rural living near the city of Arroyo Grande and the coast
In California's Central Coast region, Los Berros provides residents with plenty of space and views of the Santa Lucia Range's rolling foothills. This census designated place in the heart of wine country is 5 miles southeast of Arroyo Grande. “It’s super close to town and the beach, but it still has a rural feel, and you still get all the charm of being in an agricultural community because there’s big orchards and tons of fruit trees,” says area resident Lindsey Harn, an agent with Christie’s International Real Estate Group. “The freedom and the ability to have animals and sort of live off the land is very appealing, but you still have all the modern amenities of being close to a bigger town. It’s a great microclimate and you get the coastal influence.” Living amongst vineyards, orchards and row crops in an area with little commercial development means larger lot sizes for homeowners. “People move there for elbow room, mainly,” says area resident Byron Grant, a broker associate with Century 21. “You’ve got a little more privacy and the parcels are a little bit bigger.”

Homes on acreage
Home construction in Los Berros began in the late 20th century and continued through the early 2000s. “You tend to have a little bit more land, whether it’s a half-acre or 5 to 10 acres,” Harn says. “You’re generally on septic and well, and there’s no HOA’s so some people have chickens, goats and horses. It’s good for people who want barns and who have ATVs because you have a lot more freedom there.” Many properties also have guest houses. Buyers can find large California ranch-style homes and sprawling custom estates for anywhere from $1 million to over $3 million depending on acreage and square footage. Most homes have Mediterranean-style influence with stucco exteriors and clay tile roofs.
It's common to find large estate properties with at least an acre in Los Berros.

A farmers market, a fall festival and a summer concert series in the Village of Arroyo Grande
Each Saturday afternoon, the SLO County Farmers’ Market in the Village of Arroyo Grande offers fresh produce and other local fare. From July through September, residents can bring a blanket or lawn chair to the Village of Arroyo Grande’s Heritage Square Park for a weekly Saturday concert series featuring local artists of all genres. The village also hosts the annual Harvest Festival and Parade on the last weekend in September as a tribute to the area’s agricultural industry, including food, craft vendor booths and live music. The scarecrow contest and wiener dog races are some of the most anticipated festival events.
Access to Highway 101
Los Berros is bordered to the east by U.S. Highway 101, leading north to Arroyo Grande and south to Nipomo. Los Berros is the main road that runs northwest-southeast through the neighborhood, from which everything is accessed. “Los Berros Road from the freeway is a major traffic corridor because of the truck traffic that goes to Oceana to pick up vegetables,” Grant says. “There’s a lot of 18 wheelers going up and down that road all day long. I don’t think it's all that noisy and It’s not a huge problem, but if you happen to have a house close to the road, it’s definitely a consideration.” San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport is about 15 miles north for nonstop flights to San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Portland and Seattle. For emergency and specialized medical attention, Dignity Health’s Arroyo Grande Community Hospital is 5 miles northwest.
