Raised in Carmel and love it but now it’s largely a place for the wealthy who want a second home. If you have kids you’ll likely want neighbors with kids-check out Monterey for that scenario.

I lived in Monterey in 1987/88. Clint Eastwood was mayor of Carmel at that time. 12 of us hung out at the Carmel city hall just to meet him. After a week a cop came out. And graciously told us the Mayor was going in and out of the building thru a back entrance and he wasn't meeting anyone. We went home feeling jipped. But we got some autographed photos in the mail a month later the cop took care to make sure we got something for our time and for being in the military

Carmel has one of California's best beaches and it's dog friendly. The sand is super fine, the water is clear and cold along with a kelp forest just off the beach. Dolphins, sea lions, otters, and marine birds are sighted here frequently. Carmel arguably has one of the nicest downtowns in California. It's quaint, devoid of chain stores and fast food restaurants. An abundance of very nice restaurants. Expensive choice of restaurants but great small intimate coffee shops. Tourist traffic is a bit much during the summer months but fall thru spring is beautiful and quiet. Most of Carmel residents live here as a second or third home. If you can connect with the locals you won't be disappointed as people are very interesting, well educated, and bring a lifetime of interesting experiences. The population is older which may limit your social life. There is world class golf within 10 minutes including Pebble Beach and several others. Be prepared to pay. Contrary to this video you would be lucky to find a house or condo under $1.5 million. Bonus is Carmel's proximity to Big Sur, great hiking in the local mountains, and a love for the outdoors shared by many of Carmel's residents.

@@2gameplan lol, you can host the next Carmel video gameplan 😁

The horizontal wood paneling in the second home makes many of the rooms look smaller than they probably are. The exterior/entryway looks more mobile-home-esque than MCM.

Coming from Napa that 3rd house is priced very nice , less than I expected

This has some great information! Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful home in Monterey!

Keep up the fantastic work! 👏😊

Dude. That is a tri of pretty homes 😊

Great job!

The 3rd house is that WOOD SHAKE on the outside exterior wall? If that is the case that is a massive fire hazard?
