Real Estate Areas in Carmel, Carmel Valley and Pebble Beach

November 12th, 2008 malone Posted in Carmel, Home Search | Comments Off

I was showing clients property yesterday and the topic of “real estate areas” again came up. I always start a tour with a copy of the area map and an explanation of how it works. They were surprised to learn about “areas” although they had bought and sold several homes in Carmel and Pebble Beach.

To help organize properties, the local real estate boards create “areas.” In theory the homes within a given area are more alike than not: built at the same time, on lots of similar size, similar square footage. This theory brakes down in certain areas of the Monterey Peninsula, but the system is still useful in searching for properties and doing  broad comparisons of different neighborhoods.

For example, the “golden rectangle” area of Carmel is also known as area 143. Carmel Point is in area 145 and Hatton Fields is defined as area 147.

If you know the area number for the neighborhoods you are interested in, it can make using a search tool much more effective. In my Private Client MLS tool you can search by city, but you can also search by area.

If you would like a copy of the area map for Pebble Beach, Carmel Valley, or other Monterey peninsula communities, drop me an email.
