History and modernity in Alisal
East Salinas – also known as Alisal – is best thought of as two distinct areas coupled together in a single neighborhood. “There’s East Salinas and New East Salinas,” explains Realtor Regina Shaw, who has represented transactions in the area for two decades. “East Salinas is more densely populated, and houses were built in the 1950s and 1960s. New East Salinas homes are newer construction built in the last 20 years, and the lot sizes are bigger.”

Centrally located California favorites
