High Meadow offers suburban living along the Pacific Coast
High Meadow is a residential enclave nestled in the hills overlooking Carmel Beach, offering a serene retreat surrounded by natural beauty. The neighborhood is known for its tranquil setting and scenic vistas, with many homes enjoying views of the Point Lobos Mountains, the Pacific Ocean or Carmel Valley. Families are drawn to the community for its strong school options, established and private communities and close proximity to the coast. Additionally, the vibrant downtown of Carmel-by-the-Sea is a short drive away, providing easy access to beachside shops, eateries and local art venues. “It’s a developed neighborhood quietly tucked among pine trees that sits just above Carmel-by-the-Sea,” says Tim Allen, founder of Tim Allen Properties-Coldwell Banker Global Luxury with over 40 years of experience. “It’s more suburban living, and it’s not within walking distance to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.” The area has a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
Diverse housing options with mountain or ocean views dot High Meadow
High Meadow offers a diverse mix of single-family homes, townhouses and condominiums, many of which were built in the latter half of the 20th century. Houses are often perched on wooded hillsides or tucked behind dense groves of Monterey pines and private gates, creating a serene and private setting. Many single-family homes have expansive, professionally-landscaped lots ranging from a quarter-acre to 1 acre or more, providing ample room for amenities like decks, spas or outdoor pools. Architectural styles include midcentury ranch-style homes, modern and contemporary residences with oversized windows to take in the scenic views. “Homes here have mostly forested views,” Allen says. “Though some properties towards the top of the hills do have nice ocean views.” Single-family homes are typically between $1.5 million and $2 million. Larger residences with ocean views, spanning from subdivision homes to custom-built luxury estates, start around $3.5 million and can reach close to $9 million. Townhouses go from $1 million to $1.5 million, and condos are generally around $800,000 and $1.3 million. Properties in subdivisions require monthly HOA dues.
