Houses near Salinas Valley Health Medical Center
Located between downtown Salinas and sprawling farmland, South Salinas is one of the town’s most popular and priciest neighborhoods. “It’s so sought after because there’s something for everyone,” says Angela Savage of Steinbeck Realty, who has more than 15 years of real estate experience in Salinas. “Prices are continuing to increase in South Salinas because there aren’t many houses on the market, so if a house does go on the market, it sells quickly.” Elegant homes, like Tudors and Greek Revivals, line the streets of the sought-after Maple Park community, and in the heart of the neighborhood is the Salinas Valley Health Medical Center, a 263-bed acute care medical center that employs more than 2,000 residents. “Besides agriculture, health care is the biggest industry in Salinas,” says Veronica Rubio of REMAX Property Experts, a Salians local with 11 years of real estate experience. The neighborhood also offers easy access to schools and plenty of dining options along Main Street.
