"One of the best areas of the city to have fun and get out of the comfort zone."

The Monterey area is an extremely cool environment for anyone. I consider this area as extremely safe, and with a lot of diversity regarding entertainment for all people. One of the things I liked the most about my stay in the Monterey area, is the fact of the incredible security there is, on several occasions I went out to have fun with my friends in the Bars, and I could go out at any time, from likewise there were patrols 24 hours a day, attentive to any situation. I love the Monterey vibe, and based on my experience, I have no doubt I'd like to visit this area of ​​the city again. Everything is very close, the banks, the garages, the restaurants, everything is really accessible with respect to the distance to be covered.

There was a great deal of outdoor activities, biking, hiking, golfing, and lots of people to join while doing these activities.

Schools were not good at all, gangs, drugs, 25-30 kids in a class, etc. We opted for private school one year and homeschooled another.

Military housing just built new housing with a great new community center on Fort Ord, La Mesa is also a housing option and some friends of ours loved being close to NPS, DLI & downtown Monterey.
