A mall that's more than just shopping
In the agriculture community of Salinas, Northridge is best known as a retail destination. “People like that it’s close to shopping and dining, but is also just a 20-minute commute to the ocean,” says Beth Carbone, a RE/MAX Gold Realtor with nearly 20 years of experience in Monterey County. In Northridge, the mall isn’t just used for shopping. In 2023, it was a venue where residents celebrated their culture at The Hispanic Heritage Festival, which featured live music, folkloric dancing and face-painting. Because of the booming agricultural business, many farmers call Salinas home. Some farms, such as Borchard Farms, are open seasonally to the public for pumpkin-picking and corn mazes.
