Quiet neighborhood living near downtown Santa Maria
Located near the heart of downtown Santa Maria, the Broadway neighborhood offers a pleasant mix of suburban comforts and urban convenience.
“It’s close to downtown,” says local Realtor Tom Brown of Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty. "But it’s still a pretty quiet place to live; it definitely feels more residential. So you have easy access to bars and restaurants, many in walking distance, but you get to live in a very low-key neighborhood.” Located in California’s Central Coast region, Santa Maria is known for its picturesque landscape in the hills with soil that’s ideal for growing vineyards and enjoying the city’s signature barbecue with friends and family.
The streets in Broadway are very clean.
