Suburban living within walking distance of Downtown SLO
Just a mile south of Downtown San Luis Obispo, Meadow Park is a well-established neighborhood anchored by its namesake, Meadow Park. “It’s really desirable because not only do we have access to this beautiful park, but it’s also walking distance to downtown,” says Meadow Park resident Kellye Grayson, a Realtor at Avenue Central Coast Realty. "I really love living here and being able to see the activity in the park. It's very lively with people walking their dogs and kids riding bikes. It makes you feel good about the designation and setting aside of land for common use when you see that people really do take advantage of it.”

Sports facilities and hiking at the neighborhood’s namesake Meadow Park
14-acre Meadow Park has a large play area for kids, as well a baseball field and courts for tennis and pickleball, basketball and sand volleyball. Park-goers can tend a plot at the community garden or follow the trail from the trailhead that leads to the South Hills Open Space at the base of the park for a short hike to Vulture Peak. “It isn’t super high, it’s about an hour up and back, but when you get to the top you have a 360-degree view of San Luis Obispo," Grayson says.

An established housing scene
Most residences date back to the mid-20th century, though construction continued through the later part of the century. "There's a whole section of sweet little bungalow homes that are older, and right up against the park are houses built in the 1980s and 1990s that are a little bit more modern,” Grayson says. “In both cases, it doesn’t have the feeling of a development. Some people really like the idea of a development, and some people really don’t want to live in one. Meadow Park has more of an authentic feeling.” Modest single-family homes start around $800,000 dollars, while those with more square footage and plenty of modern upgrades can go for closer to $1.5 million. Buyers can find condominiums built in the ‘80s with roughly 1,000 to 1,200 square feet ranging from $600,000 to over $700,000.
