I went to Cal Poly in the early 1980’s and loved living in SLO. When I graduated from Cal Poly, I didn’t want to leave, but did leave. I now live in Ventura and get up to SLO a few times a year to visit, attend Cal Poly events, and go visit my brother who lives in Morro Bay. The town has changed a lot over the years, but it still has the same vibe as it did when I was there.
That's awesome ! Me and the wife want to do the same in the next few years from Illinois. Any advice for looking at properties or land and areas of town ? Would appreciate any info on moving states or prep work on purchasing? Thanks 👍
21 👍 Putting some fun into the real estate business. Having traveled all over the US, SLO would be my choice of location if I were to leave the east coast. Your town has everything. The only downside is the affordability factor. (For me, it would be a tossup between Mill St. and the RR District. Either is an easy walk to a vibrant downtown and Scolari’s.) Thank you for this video which was more like a tour than a promo. I’ll be watching for more.
Thanks DJOldsKool! I really appreciate the feedback. I'm always trying to figure out the best way to combine fun and work. Working and living in SLO makes it a whole heck of a lot easier that's for sure!
Vibrant downtown? Really? This is post 70's, and the real downtown SLO left the scene. Just the old buildings remain, tourists and some university students. Not to say loads of bars not present. The fifties and sixties were a wonderful time for SLO. We live in the now, and not the past. Good luck with your Agenda21 plans for everyone, as I am out. Aside of the homeless, it may remain a great place / area, for tourist to visit. They can take-in many sites, and wonder how it was back-when. The Old Mission is a good visit. The downtown architecture pretty cool. To think that at one time they were not vacant, or not a bar is something of which the tourist will never know. It is like Avila Beach was at one time not looking like it was a Disneyland theme park, but rather a funky beach town. BTW, they are in the process of screwing-up all the streets in SLO -- way to go! Great history, without a doubt, but the whole enchilada is now wrongly baked.
@@lorenschwiderski I haven’t been back to SLO for ten years. Sad to hear the updated conditions of downtown. From what I see virtually on UA-cam, most of California is taking the same route as your city.. When I lived in the Bay Area In the ‘60’s, California was “where it’s at.” Thank you for the heads up. I’ll hold on to my Massachusetts real estate in spite of the winters.
@@djoldskool5763 North County SLO is great and Morro Bay, if you can afford the housing, is much the same as it was in the 60's. Agenda21 and the socialists, so far, have yet to take Morro Bay. North County cities are nice -- friendly, and down to earth people, but the population is growing. Possibly growing too fast for traffic management. I do enjoy Paso Robles and Templeton as in going back in time -- a time traveler place. Once again, growth of all of SLO county is leading to traffic getting clogged. So far though it is not terrible -- just saying there are early warning signs, as traffic in some hours will crawl. The city of SLO has its points, and is a nice location. Just beware it is an Agenda21 city, as is Atascadero -- if you like the UN planning, then go for that too.
Hi, I just found your channel. I’ve been living in San Diego for 25 years now are originally from North Carolina. I was thinking about going back home. I’ve never been to Northern California just Southern California I started researching and I came across this beautiful city. Wow. I’m really over San Diego now. What’s the weather like up there? Does it have all seasons? I really miss that. Because San Diego was just one way all the time. Does it rain up there and does it get cold in the winter time? What’s the cost of renting up there? San Diego is expensive. I may have to take a trip up there for a week or so. How’s the healthcare entertainment shopping? Thank you
Hey there! I spent a couple of summers in North Carolina kind of near Boone and Asheville. Beautiful state! The weather in SLO County is pretty varied depending on if you're in one of the coastal towns or more inland and especially if you're in the north county. Moderate and consistent temps along the coast, SLO itself is pretty moderate year round though does heat up and cool down a bit in summer and winter. And in the north county, we have freezing temps at night every now and again in winter and it gets up over 100 in the summer at times. Rentals depend on the area and what you're looking for so it's hard to give a quick answer but the inventory is limited and prices are generally on the higher side. Probably not as high as San Diego though... Health has it's plusses and minuses. We have some great docs and really good hospitals, but not enough! You won't regret spending a week up here! There's a ton to see and do and I'm happy to help you find your way around!
Great video...thanks! I'm curious about the boundaries of "Little Italy" (street boundaries if you know) and any info on the history of it being called Little Italy. Thanks!
Those born in SLO never paid any attention to districts. It is just something to sell the goods. The term China Town was used, where restaurants, Ah Louis store is, and Chong's , where people purchased hand made candies. The rich lived up the hill at Ferrini Heights, and if you lived in the Railroad District, you lived near the tracks, and not far from downtown, which in the past had all the big name chain stores, including Woolworth, JC Penny, Sears, Wards, Coronet's, National Dollar, and more. Going back, before my time, Buchon St. house many well to do people in Victorian styled two story homes. Some are nicely done. Poorer people lived near Meadow Park area, where once was a race track. Stay far away from the college area, should you wish to sleep at night.
It’s funny… Some of our clients can easily afford over one million but there is a mental barrier for some folks. It just “feels” like too much to spend for some folks!
@@ColinBroadwaterRealtor Well if retired, and you have three million in total wealth, then a one million home is reasonable. When the greater wealth is wrapped up in a home, you are in trouble down the road. Good luck!
Most million dollar homes in SLO are possibly worth as much as a third that, and some less. It is all in the game. Fortunately SLO homes may only lose a third value come a depression, being a retirement area of the rich. I guess a 333,000 loss is not too bad compared to 500,000. ;)
I can see how it might feel like that. When I moved back years ago, during the first couple of local hikes I went on I was pretty amazed at how much the city had grown when looking down from above. And the airport traffic really changes things as well. But I think that overall the character of SLO has been maintained very well...
I live in SLO and some of the homes are really nice but the new developments which are all cookie cutter homes are nothing but eye sores. Too small, waaay overpriced for what they are, and a yard so small you can barely fit a patio furniture set in. If you want an example look at the new development off of Madonna Rd where Ernie Delidio had his farm. Those homes are so close together you can hear your neighbor snore at night. The more these cookie cutter homes get built, the more SLO loses its charm.
I am definitely a fan of the older homes. Nob Hill is absolutely my favorite area and I also really appreciate the Railroad District. Thanks for chiming in!

Keep coming back! There’s always room for a Poly grad to come for a visit…
We moved here from Phoenix a few months ago. I've never loved a city more than San Luis Obisbo ❤❤❤❤
What a year to relocate to SLO! The historic winter of 2023!!!😅
That's awesome ! Me and the wife want to do the same in the next few years from Illinois. Any advice for looking at properties or land and areas of town ? Would appreciate any info on moving states or prep work on purchasing? Thanks 👍
Freaking love it. Spectacular just Spectacular!!!
Thanks CJ! You’re the best!
Wow, loved this video! Gonna have to watch your atown vid next
Thanks Triston! You’re an inspiration to me with all the beautiful videography you’ve done in our county!

Great video. Very informative. My mom used to own in Nipomo, but she sold and moved back to LA county.
I hope she had some healthy equity built up and was able to purchase something she really loves down there!
I’ve lived in San Luis since 1981 and I have never heard banana belt or a little Italy. It’s usually just Cal poly area, Laguna Lake, downtown… etc
I hadn't heard these names befoe I started in real estate so I hear ya! The names do make sense though if you spend a liitle time there!

@@jumpman2twenty3three Very welcome! Did you find our relocation guide to download yet?
Great video...thanks! I'm curious about the boundaries of "Little Italy" (street boundaries if you know) and any info on the history of it being called Little Italy. Thanks!
Hi Kathy there isn’t an hoa with a strict boundary. Many homes were built in the 30s. Are you a buyer considering a move here?

@@lorenschwiderski that's funny! I can barely remember the names of streets where I grew up here in SLO. I always found my way around by landmarks...
Nice video, 0:30 but it’s “Bishop Peak” (not “Bishop’s Peak”)
Kind of like The Sierra rather than The Sierra’s? That one drives me a little crazy. Thanks for the correction!
Million dollar home is very affordable now.
It’s funny… Some of our clients can easily afford over one million but there is a mental barrier for some folks. It just “feels” like too much to spend for some folks!
