Centrally located suburb in south Santa Maria
Set in the southwest corner of Santa Maria, 5 miles from downtown, Blosser consists of neatly organized housing subdivisions on the north side and Santa Maria Airport on the south side. Offering regional and short-range flights to nearby cities like Los Angeles, the airport is surrounded by distribution centers and community institutions, including several Christian and Baptist churches. Though proximity to Santa Maria Airport affords convenience, it comes with the sound of passing planes, especially during September's annual Central Coast Airfest, an airshow featuring military and vintage planes. “Santa Maria has a slower pace of living, and Blosser gives its residents a central location,” says Ray Vega, a real estate broker with eXp Realty of California. “It's practically five minutes from everything you need, like Target, or if you work at the Space Force Base.” Vandenberg Space Force Bases, a major military station on the central coast, is about 15 miles south. Gathering spaces like Waller Park, as well as locally owned, fast-casual restaurants, sit just to the east.

21st-century homes with Spanish-influenced architecture
Homes in Blosser are organized into suburban subdivisions from the early 2000s and late 2010s, mainly on the neighborhood’s north side, with wide streets and well-maintained sidewalks shaded by palm trees. Properties tend to be set close together, including Spanish Revival-style homes with barrel-tile roofs, stucco exteriors and small backyard patios, along with Modern Craftsman-style bungalows featuring gable trim, overhanging roofs and covered front porches. Two- to three-bedroom Craftsman-styles often sell for between $500,000 and $650,000, and Spanish Revival-style homes with three or four bedrooms tend to go for between $650,000 and $700,000. “Sales are down, and inventory is still very tight. When properties list, they move slightly slower than in the past,” Vega says.

Hosting an outdoor barbeque at Pioneer Park

Watching military aircraft demos at the Annual Central Coast Airfest
Hosted at the Santa Maria Airport, the Central Coast Airfest typically takes place in September. It features vintage and military aircraft demos, food trucks, and vendors. Locals can attend the practice show the day before festivities begin at a discounted price.
Living next to the Santa Maria Airport
Santa Maria Airport was initially established during the 1940s during World War II as the Santa Maria Army Base, where pilots trained to fly B-25 aircrafts. Today, the two-runway airport serves as a hub for regional flights from small and medium-sized airlines, including Allegiant Air. Each weekend at the airport's Santa Maria Museum of Flight, locals can learn about the history of flight in the Santa Maria Valley. While planes can be heard taking off and landing throughout the day in Blosser, residents report that most noise pollution is brought by military aircrafts and air shows, which occur infrequently.
