Homes near Del Monte Shopping Center
Within two miles of three separate beaches, dozens of dining spots and plenty of retail shopping, Monterey Vista is a buzzing neighborhood. “We live here because of the fun, community vibe,” says Anna Wilson of Del Monte Realty, who has lived in the area for the past 20 years. “It really has held on to its roots as a fishing area where people want to be outside, be active and see other people.” Today, the neighborhood is bordered to the east by the Del Monte Shopping Center, a large open-air shopping and dining district within walking distance of many homes. Just north of the neighborhood is Old Monterey, a row of streets lined with restaurants and boutique shops right on the Monterey Bay.
Serenely embracing the coastal beauty, Monterey Vista unfolds its scenic charm beneath the sky.

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.”
