Why Live in Cambria
Cambria, a coastal village in northern San Luis Obispo County, is distinguished by its native Monterey pine trees and serene, mountain-town feel. Homes here, built from the mid-20th century to the early 21st century, are often multi-level and positioned to capture ocean views. Architectural styles vary, including Mediterranean-style homes and cozy cabins. The median home price is around $1 million, with more affordable options compared to nearby coastal towns like Cayucos. However, new residential development is limited due to a water emergency and building moratorium. Cambria’s East and West Villages are cultural hubs with art galleries, public murals, and live music venues. The Cambria Center for the Arts features local artwork, performances, and the annual Cambria Film Festival. Dining is local-centric, with spots like Madeline’s Restaurant & Wine Cellar and Linn’s, famous for its pies. Coast Union High School is highly rated, offering career and technical education courses. While primarily car-dependent, Cambria is served by San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority bus stops along Moonstone Beach Drive and Main Street. Local attractions include the scenic California Highway 1, offering dramatic coastal views, and Stolo Vineyards & Winery, which hosts live music events. The nearest hospital, Adventist Health’s Twin Cities Community Hospital, is 25 miles east in Templeton, and the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport is less than 40 miles southeast.
