Monterey Overview
Located along the southern tier of the gorgeous Monterey Bay, this prime slice of central California real estate is an excellent option for those eager to discover all the west coast has to offer. A notable artist's community that appeals to a wide range of lifestyles, Monterey rentals have much to offer and are always in demand.
What is the history of Monterey?
The site of many historic battles through the 1800s, Monterey boasted a public school and several Government buildings by 1850. A post office soon followed, and the city was officially incorporated in 1890. Fishing constituted much of the local economy through the 1950s, when oversaturation of the waters diminished the hauls, and Monterey evolved into a haven for artists, especially a variety of painters. Secondary language interpretation has also blossomed as an industry in the region, with the city recently being dubbed the 'Language Capital of the World'.
How is the weather in Monterey?
Thanks to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, Monterey apartments tend to experience a fairly regulated weather pattern throughout the year. Summers are sunny and mild, with temperatures rarely climbing above the 70s, and the winter months are typically hovered around 50 degrees. January-March also tend to be the wettest months, although snow is a true rarity, and overall the weather in this coastal city is quite pleasant.
How do I get around town?
Owning a car or truck is the norm for most residents of Monterey apartments, although bicycling is especially popular as well, and taxis and ride sharing options such as Lyft are found with ease. Some bus service can be found, although rail is in short supply, and the Monterey Regional Airport connects to nearby major cities in Arizona, Colorado and beyond.
What is the Monterey commute like?
California State Route 1 connects the city to much of the west coast, including Big Sur to the south, and Highway 101 is also a popular and scenic roadway in the vicinity. State Route 68 supplies additional options for navigating, and in general the traffic throughout the city limits tends to move at a reasonable, if a tad relaxed, pace.
What are the local media outlets?
Both the 'Monterey County Herald' and the 'Monterey County Weekly' dominate the local print news outlets, and while broadast television is somewhat limited to major network affiliates like NBC and CBS for the most part, radio is robust. Local stations on the ariwaves include KRML, which focuses on jazz, to KPIG's modern rock flair. 1610-AM is dedicated to city information and talk news as well.
Why live in Monterey, CA?
Home to a wide assortment of cultural hotspots, sweeping oceanic beauty and plenty of charming west coast ambiance, apartments for rent in Monterey have broad appeal with good reason. Fishing is still almost omnipresent around the waterfront bay, and lively bands and quaint boutiques co-exist along the downtown scene. Add to that an enviable climate and some truly welcoming locals, and you have a California zip code well worth bragging over.
What Monterey landmarks should I see?
The Fisherman's Wharf dates its construction all the way back to the 1870s, and remains a home to shops and eateries today. Cannery Row is flush with historic structures from the fish canning heyday of yore, and residents of Monterey apartments will undoubtedly want to pay a visit to the Monterey Museum of Art, home to agreat number of Dali works among others.
What is there to do around Monterey?
Home to 'California's First Theater', Monterey rentals put you in close proximity to a world of the stage, from the Golden State Theatre to the New Warf Theatre. Tour the old home and writing studio of Robert Louis Stevenson, or spend an afternoon at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, both within easy reach of numerous Monterey apartments for rent. The Lake El Estero is yet another excellent spot for walking the dog or enjoying a good book.
Any annual festivals or Monterey events to know?
The Monterey International Blues Festival is known the world over, and Monterey's Annual Adobe Tour offers crowds an up-close-and-personal view of many of the city's impressive historic homesteads.
Where are the nearby vacation spots?
Spend a weekend exploring the coastline of Bug Sur, as romantic a getaway as one is apt to find, or relax among the Sea Otters along the downtown warf. For a star-studded adventure hit the road to Hollywood, or spend a few days traversing the famous California wine country, all within driving distance of many Monterey apartments.
Where is the best place to move in Monterey?
From luxurious and stately Monterey rentals close to the water vistas and warf shopping to 3-bedroom family options offering easy access to Highway 101 and area schools, Monterey apartments are diverse and plentiful. Start your hunt today, and see what the west coast is planning for you!
