Pacific Grove Real Estate

Widely known for the annual migration of velvet-winged orange and black Monarch butterflies and fluorescent displays of seaside plant life, particularly along the walking/biking trail that borders the rocky coast with beautiful views out across Monterey Bay, Pacific Grove is at the northwesterly point of the Peninsula.  Hailed locally as "the last hometown" this peaceful community of families and vacationers offers vintage Victorian homes and cottages among its diverse and distinctive oceanside and bay view residential areas.

The city of Pacific Grove is found on the northwestern tip of the Monterey Peninsula. The one-of-a-kind Californian city has become synonymous with classic Victorian architecture and Monarch Butterflies. Affectionately known as "Butterfly Town USA" and "the last hometown" by locals, the area is an important stopover for the butterflies on their annual migration, and a hotbed for wonderful character homes. Home buyers will be pleased to find a fascinating assortment of estate homes and cottages in a historic Victoria architectural style. In fact, Pacific Grove contains more historic homes per capita than anywhere else in California; it's estimated that a full 75% of real estate in the community could be considered historic.
