Salinas neighborhood with agricultural roots

Bolsa Knolls is part of why the Salinas Valley is known as “America’s Salad Bowl.” The region produces a huge portion of the nation’s broccoli, lettuce and spinach, and lettuce farming happens in this otherwise residential neighborhood 5 miles northwest of downtown. “It’s more of a rural and country type feel, and a lot of the people living out there are ag workers that want to be close to the farms,” says Monica Wason of M2 Realty Group, who has nearly a decade of experience in the area. “It’s common for people to have chickens or even pigs in Bolsa Knolls.” The residential parts of Bolsa Knolls are concentrated in the eastern and southern parts of the neighborhood. Lettuce farmland dominates the central and western ends, while the Club at Crazy Horse Ranch, a country club established in 2014, takes up most of the northern end.

Larger lots than most of Salinas

Those looking for a project can find renovation-ready homes in the $460,000 to $550,000 range, while ranch-style and Craftsman builds are between $600,000 and $750,000. Larger builds near the Club at Crazy Horse Ranch cost between $900,000 and $1.2 million. “You get larger lots out in Bolsa Knolls, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a bigger price tag,” says Wason. Single-family homes have large front and back yards, and houses sit on quiet, mainly residential roads with sidewalks. Private driveways and attached garages provide easy parking. Condos are consolidated along Route 101 with a price range of $300,000 to $450,000. Manufactured homes cost between $175,000 and $290,000.
