Peter’s Gate Neighborhood in Monterey, CA

3 El Caminito del Norte Back YardPeters Gate is a very desirable Monterey, CA neighborhood that is located near downtown Monterey. Peter’s Gate, as everyone locally calls the area, has been a favorite Monterey neighborhood for locals forever! And what is not to like about it! There are three city parks in this neighborhood, Via Paraiso Park, Whispering Pines Park and Veterans Memorial Park all within walking distance. In addition, you can walk to downtown Monterey from just about anywhere in this neighborhood! The streets are quiet for the most part and the homes are all well-kept! Monterey High School and Colton Middle School are both in this neighborhood as well, making it especially popular with families.

Peter’s Gate gets its name from artist Charles Rollo Peters, a painter from San Francisco who enjoyed the local artist scene in Carmel and especially loved painting the old Monterey adobe’s in various state of ruin. He owned a gated 30 estate which he later sold and was subdivided into what is now referred to as the Peter’s Gate neighborhood. This neighborhood exudes charm and although it is so close to downtown Monterey, you feel as though you are out in the suburbs.

Corral de Tierra Neighborhood

Corral de Tierra is located off the Hwy 68 Corridor near the mid-point between Monterey and Salinas.  It is known for its scenic beauty which inspired John Steinbeck to write about this area frequently in his short stories including The Pastures of Heaven which was published in 1932.  Steinbeck and his sister Mary used to play in the valley under Castle Rock according to one report, which is what Corral de Tierra was named after, ”The Fence of Earth.”

Corral de Tierra is known for its beautiful weather as well as the beautiful scenery.  Those wanting to escape the coastal fog and colder temperatures are attracted to Corral de Tierra and sister Canyon, San Benancio to the East.  Located about 10 miles inland from Monterey’s coast, the weather here is typically 10-20 degrees warmer than in Monterey and the canyon frequently protects residents from the wind that comes up in the Salinas Valley each afternoon, making this an ideal location for a residence.

About Corral de Tierra Real Estate

Corral de Tierra real estate is pretty eclectic in nature.  The majority of Corral de Tierra homes were built just after the Corral de Tierra Country Club was built in 1959.  This spurred construction in Corral de Tierra over the next 10 years and is why we see so many 1960’s style ranch homes in Corral de Tierra and the surrounding areas of San Benancio and Toro Park.  New construction continues today in Corral de Tierra and San Benancio Canyons but the majority of the lots have been built out.  

Corral de Tierra is a great place to find and older home to remodel and to surround yourself with your own private acreage.  It is rural by nature and many homes include horses and farm animals making it ideal for those who are a bit more adventurous than the city folk. It is however convenient to both the Salinas Valley and the Monterey Peninsula with commute times being just 10-15 minutes.

Old Retreat Neighborhood Real Estate in Pacific Grove

218 3rd St. is inside what would be considered Pacific Grove's Old Retreat neighborhood.  The Old Retreat is a reference to the area in Pacific grove which was home to the old Methodist summer retreat which took place in Pacific Grove every year during this towns early days of development.  The Old Retreat was a very specific area of town located below Pine from New Monterey's border to around Congress Avenue, although today the general area around downtown is loosely referred to as the Old Retreat.  

People love the Old Retreat area of Pacific Grove and Old Retreat real estate because of the uniquely Pacific Grove lifestyle it offers.  The Old Retreat, as you will read below, was made of tent structures in the early days so the lots are very small (30' x 60' to be exact) and don't allow for very large homes.  The location is perfect as you can easily walk to the water, Lovers Point and downtown Pacific Grove.  And although we are on rocky terrain, the terrain is relatively flat when compared with other seaside communities, making it an ideal place to walk.  With all of that said, Pacific Grove's Old Retreat real estate is among the most desirable in the city.

Monterey Peninsula Home Team Moves to Keller Williams

Monterey Peninsula Home Team Keller Williams

Monterey Peninsula Home Team Moves to Keller Williams

Pacific Grove, CA, March 15, 2016 -- One of the Monterey Peninsula’s oldest and most respected commercial and residential agencies is tapping into the resources of one of the most successful real estate companies in the world. The Monterey Peninsula Home Team, processing tens of millions of dollars worth of commercial and residential property every month, is merging their residential and commercial businesses with Keller Williams Realty, Inc. The move comes as real estate on the Central Coast continues its steady climb upwards, out of the slump caused by the financial crisis and the Great Recession that followed.

 

Typically, top agents for a realty company don’t move. It’s too much work, the logistics are difficult at best, and there’s not enough to be gained to make the move worthwhile. But effective immediately, the Monterey Peninsula Home Team—including Lynda Nichols, Jeff Davi, Mark Bruno, Anthony Davi, and Linda Dorris and their entire support staff—are doing just that in order to take advantage of Keller Williams’ innovative technology, growth opportunities, and world-leading training.

 

According to Lynda Nichols, President of the Home Team who has been representing clients on the Monterey Peninsula for more than 40 years, “This is a big decision, and one we did not take lightly. We are very excited about the Keller Williams culture, what they’ve accomplished and where they’re going. Our ability to access their technology and their scale is a win-win for our agency and clients alike.”  

 

The Monterey Peninsula Home Team is not an ordinary real estate team. Members of the Home Team are all long time residents of the Peninsula, with collectively more than 100 years experience. And one of them, Jeff Davi, is a former real estate Commissioner for the state of California. Nor is Keller Williams the typical parent company. At the forefront of innovations in technology, tools, training and team culture, it is the largest such company in the world by agent count, with more than 135,000, and 750 offices with international reach on four continents. Even more impressive, the company has been recognized as the #1 training organization across all industries. That capability spells growth opportunities for the Home Team’s young agents and veterans alike.

 

“It’s a marriage made in heaven,” said Mark Vonkaenel, Operating Principal for Keller Williams. “We believe adding an agency as experienced and respected as the MPHT to our Keller Williams family is a significant statement, and we expect everyone—clients, agents and the communities we serve—to benefit from this synergy.”  And Mark Bruno added, “our clients still have the same MPHT with all the local experience clients come to expect, but now with the added syndicated listings to a much broader network.”

 

Keller Williams will also expand their footprint in the area by renovating and expanding their existing Carmel Valley and Los Gatos offices. The MPHT/Keller Williams will continue to operate out of their offices in Pacific Grove at 501 Lighthouse. For more information, visit: www.searchmontereypeninsulahomes.com

Village Views Area in Carmel Valley

The Village Views area of Carmel Valley is located just east of Laureles Grade and just before Carmel Valley Village and covers both sides of Carmel Valley Road.  This is a great location for those that want to be in the sunshine most of the year, as you are typically just outside the reach of the coastal fog from Carmel but you are still only 15-20 minutes from all of the activities the coast has to offer. 

Most of the terrain is sloped so although lot sizes are larger, normally over an acre, flat usable land is still at a premium. Most homes are built on what little flat area the parcel has to offer, or sometimes they are built on the edge of a sloped section of land.  One advantage to this area is the scenery is awesome!  Many homes have great views down Carmel Valley back towards the coast, or across the valley of the Santa Lucia Mountains, which will receive a dusting of snow in the winter time.

If you want to be in the sunshine but out of the hustle and bustle of town, the Village Views neighborhood of Carmel Valley could be a good fit for you.

Village Views Area in Carmel Valley

The Village Views area of Carmel Valley is located just east of Laureles Grade and just before Carmel Valley Village and covers both sides of Carmel Valley Road.  This is a great location for those that want to be in the sunshine most of the year, as you are typically just outside the reach of the coastal fog from Carmel but you are still only 15-20 minutes from all of the activities the coast has to offer. 

Most of the terrain is sloped so although lot sizes are larger, normally over an acre, flat usable land is still at a premium.  Most homes are built on what little flat area the parcel has to offer, or sometimes they are built on the edge of a sloped section of land.  One advantage to this area is the scenery is awesome!  Many homes have great views down Carmel Valley back towards the coast, or across the valley of the Santa Lucia Mountains, which will receive a dusting of snow in the winter time.

If you want to be in the sunshine but out of the hustle and bustle of town, the Village Views neighborhood of Carmel Valley could be a good fit for you.
