Home of Steinbeck’s Cannery Row

The city of Monterey is the geographical and social center of the Monterey Peninsula. Its remarkable waterfront lies along Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.  Fisherman’s Wharf, Cannery Row and the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium stretch along the vibrant waterfront, complete with charming older homes. A bustling downtown and Del Monte Shopping Center provide residents with plenty of shopping and dining choices.  Monterey is also a filming location for the HBO hit series Big Little Lies, starring Nicole Kidman.

Along with its many parks, Monterey offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities, including a jogging-biking trail along the coast, kayak rentals, public tennis courts, baseball parks and the state-of-the-art Monterey Sports Center.

Monterey real estate includes a wide variety of housing options from urban to suburban properties, with executive-style homes boasting sweeping views of the Monterey Bay, single-family homes in a wide variety of price ranges and extensive condominium complexes, some adjoining the bay.
