Homes with a view of the ocean

Three miles south of Monterey, between Monterey and Carmel bays, Skyline Forest lives up to its name with its dense oak trees and scenic views of the Pacific Ocean. Home to the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the neighborhood is an established community with a changing population. “We see a lot of people coming up from Silicon Valley and the Central Valley to escape, even if it’s just on the weekends,” says Laraye Sullivan of Sotheby’s International Realty, who has about a decade of experience in the area. “The prices of the properties are getting higher, but the population is probably getting younger.” The neighborhood has a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10 compared to the national average of 4.

Condos and single-family builds

Homes in Skyline Forest range from Craftsman ranch-style houses to bungalows to modern custom homes. Single-family builds cost between $1.5 million and $2.2 million, and prices increase as elevation gets higher. Condos range between $725,000 and $900,000 for two-bedroom condos, while larger units in gated communities are in the $1 million to $1.2 million range. “There are a lot of condos because of how many people come from out of town and pop up for the weekend,” says Sullivan. “They like how low maintenance they are, and [people] can come and go whenever they please.” Most condo complexes have pools and tennis or pickleball courts; single-family home and condo communities sit on quiet residential roads shaded by mature oak trees.

Hiking, surfing and golf in Monterey

Residents hike the Wild Boar Trail for views of the coastline, or Presidio View Trail for sweeping vistas of Monterey. Both trails are in the hilly, 50-acre Monterey Veteran’s Memorial Park. For a more challenging hike, SFB Morse Botanical Preserve allows leashed dogs on its 3-mile woodsy trek. Golfers enjoy the 18-hole championship course at Poppy Hills Golf Course, which also has lessons and extensive practice facilities 3 miles from the neighborhood. Surfers hit the waves at Del Monte Beach, located 5 miles north of the neighborhood, while others walk along the beach's boardwalk. Leashed dogs are also allowed to splash in the ocean. “You can really do it all here,” says Susan Spiegel, a Realtor with Compass, who has two decades of experience in the area. “It’s an amazing location near Monterey Bay, and there are a bunch of parks and trails around. Whether you like hiking, golfing, sailing or scuba diving, there’s something there.”
