Monterey Vista
Dining out in Old Monterey
The neighborhood’s proximity to the Del Monte Shopping Center makes shopping easy. Apple, Macy’s, Banana Republic and other major retailers have locations at the shopping center. Whole Foods is a grocery option within walking distance of most homes, while Trader Joe’s is just outside the neighborhood in Old Monterey. Residents can also visit Old Monterey for a pint at Fieldwork Brewing Company. The brewery has a large outdoor patio with long picnic tables and fire pits. “There’s a ton of great dining in Old Town, and all the restaurants are lively,” says Wilson. The Crown & Anchor is a British Pub where residents can get shepherd's pie in a dimly lit dining room with large leather booths. Diners at Melville Tavern enjoy burgers while looking at the walls covered with paintings of the sea and quotes from Herman Melville himself.Craftsman and Mediterranean Homes
Craftsman homes cost between $995,000 and $1.3 million, while larger Mediterranean builds and tri-levels cost between $1.8 million and $2.7 million. These houses sit on winding residential roads and are shaded by mature cypress and pine trees. Single-family builds all have off-street parking with multicar garages and long driveways. One-bedroom condos with just over 500 square feet of space cost between $460,000 and $500,000, while larger multi-bedroom units cost between $850,000 and $1.1 million. “The condo prices and the HOA dues are more reasonable than Carmel on the other side of the peninsula,” says Wilson. “It’s rare for something to stay on the market long here.”Hiking Jacks Peak Park
Via Parasio Park is home to many youth baseball events. Locals can also stroll along the walking paths or shoot hoops on the basketball courts. Monterey Veterans Memorial Park is a 50-acre green space with a playground for children. Hikers enjoy the easy and intermediate trail loops. Hikers are also a couple of miles from Jacks Peak Park, which has over 8 miles of multi-use trails and plenty of breathtaking views along the way. Just a mile up the road is Monterey Bay, where whale watching is a popular activity year-round. San Carlos Beach, Del Monte Beach, and Monterey State Beach are relaxing spots for a picnic, or surfing and swimming.Monterey High has an A grade
Kids in the neighborhood attend Monte Vista Elementary School, which is a K-8 institution and a part of the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District. Monte Vista holds a B-plus Niche ranking. Teens then move to Monterey High School, which has an A ranking. The school, founded in 1905, was named a Niche Standout California high school. Students can enroll in the Academy of Oceanographic Science, prepping them for a degree at a four-year university. There is also an Art, Media and Performance Academy.Getting around the peninsula
Monterey Vista is just a couple of miles from the Monterey Regional Airport, which offers access to several domestic locations. Route 101 takes locals 70 miles up the road to San Jose, while the Monterey-Salinas Transit system has bus stops in the neighborhood.
