Centralized Santa Maria neighborhood close to shopping, dining and golfing

Set 4 miles south of Santa Maria’s city center, the Santa Maria County Club community is a combined residential, commercial and manufacturing hub. Spanish-style properties stretch along the northeastern portion of the neighborhood and industrial buildings line up on the southwest side. The real draw, however, is the country club itself, with its lively vaulted ceiling clubhouse where members dine and drink. Its lush golf course was constructed in the 1950s with the help of local farmers who were part of the club. “A lot of backyards have a view of the golf course,” says Brandon Smith, Realtor for United Agents and longtime Santa Maria resident. “One thing about the country club area is because it’s centralized, there are a lot of developments with franchises in it—it’s in the center of town, which is becoming the better, more desirable area at the moment.” Locals head south to Waller Park for hiking and frisbee golf and cruise along McCoy Lane to shop at chain stores and locally owned businesses.

Mediterranean-styled homes in Santa Maria Country Club

Busy four-lane thoroughfares like West McCoy Lane and South Miller Street connect to residential streets with well-paved sidewalks, streetlights and palm trees. “There’s a nice price range which allows for younger families and older individuals to live here, and a lot of homes are built to have good, natural lighting,” Smith says. Craftsman-style condos built between the 1980s and early 2000s are spread around the northeastern side of the neighborhood, near late 20th-century ranch-style and new traditional properties. The condos sit in communities like Country Club Village Greens and Oak Creek Villas and have in-ground pools and nearby playgrounds. Prices range roughly between $300,000 and $650,000 depending on size, and residents can expect to pay up to $495 in monthly HOA fees for grounds maintenance and trash pickup. Mediterranean-influenced ranch-style homes have grassy fenced-in yards, while two-story Spanish new traditional homes with rust-colored terracotta roofs have brick back patios and white vinyl privacy fences. Prices for ranch and two-story homes range from $530,000 to about $650,000, and some homes have monthly HOA fees of around $150. In the southwestern portion of the community, architecture varies, from mid-to-late 20th-century ranch-style homes to contemporary houses with Spanish elements. These houses sit side-by-side on asphalt cul-de-sacs. Older properties from the 1960s and 70s have intricate green gardens and open backyards, and newer builds have two-car garages and wooden verandas shading stone patios. Prices range between $700,000 and $1.2 million, and pricier homes face the greens of the country club’s golf course.

Golf, swimming and tennis on the Santa Maria Country Club’s grounds

The private Santa Maria Country Club is the focal point of the neighborhood. Established in 1921, the club features an 18-hole golf course covered in pine and cypress trees, tennis courts where adult leagues practice and a swimming pool that members can utilize year-round. Neighbors can purchase a full-time membership or pick a four-month Discovery Membership with access to one of the club’s amenities, and they can bring guests to the on-site restaurant for Italian buffet nights or stroll on the area’s walking paths. The club is also a popular place for weddings and corporate holiday events. Nearby is Waller Park, which was partially donated by the Country Club in 1928. The 154-acre park touches the neighborhood's southern border and offers bike trails, a frisbee golf area and the James Hagerman Softball Complex. Visitors can take their dogs to the Woof P.A.C. Park or meander around Waller Park Pond feeding ducks. Residents can bring their children to the playground and large greenspaces in the five-acre Rod Rodenberger Park near the neighborhood’s southeast corner.

Thousands of spectators peruse through vendor food trucks and beer gardens, watching military aircraft and aerobatic pilot performers sore through the sky.

Occasional poor air quality due to manufacturing plants and Santa Maria Airport nearby

Because Santa Maria Country Club's southwestern pocket includes the FedEx Ship Center, Okonite Company manufacturing plant and other massive industrial buildings, locals may sometimes experience poor air quality because of heavy emissions. The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District monitors the city’s air quality regularly and advises residents to stay inside with windows closed and avoid burning firewood or candles when air quality is bad. Some residents may also hear noise from the Santa Maria Airport a few miles west. Occasionally, military fighter jets may stage flights mimicking Air Force combat. According to the airport's website, any airport-related noise is disclosed in any real estate transaction for homes in the Airport Influence Area. People can also submit noise complaints or concerns through an online form on the airport’s website.
