Homes near big box retail and farms
On the northwestern edge of Salinas, Boronda is a neighborhood of convenience. “You’ve got the Costco, and you’re really close to Northridge Mall, but you’re also close to the farms,” says Regina Shaw of Intero Real Estate, who has two decades of experience in the area. “Expansion west kind of stopped when they hit Boronda because they didn’t want to interfere with the farmland.” Many Boronda residents work on that farmland, as agriculture is the city of Salinas’ leading industry. However, Boronda residents also have quick and easy access to big box stores, malls and restaurants within the neighborhood.
Boronda offers peaceful living near Salinas city center.

Houses right off Route 101
Houses in Boronda range from classic tri-levels from the 1980s to ranch-style homes and Craftsmans from the late 1990s. Prices vary from about $490,000 to $785,000 and depend on the size and age of the home. Homes are tucked between Route 101 and the North Davis Road on residential streets, and lot sizes are a draw. “You get more yard space here than in other parts of the city, which makes it more peaceful because you’re not as close to your neighbors,” says Roberto Tovar of RE/MAX Property Experts and a Salinas local. Some properties in the area have enough room for private pools in the backyard. Houses have attached garages and multicar garages. Sidewalks are shaded by oak trees.
Boronda homes feature large lots ideal for outdoor activities.
