Situated on the fabled Monterey Peninsula, 125 miles south of San Francisco, Carmel-by-the-Sea is cosmopolitan with a continental ambiance, yet decidedly quaint with a small town feel. The Southwest area of Carmel by-the-Sea is often referred to as the Golden Rectangle. It is generally thought to include the properties south of Ocean Ave across to the street named Santa Lucia and Lincoln Street down to the ocean. Some of the most expensive properties in Carmel by-the-Sea are located in the Golden Rectangle.
To preserve the town’s special appeal and especially its golden rectangle area, the city fathers have passed special ordinances. Even though as a golden rectangle home owner you live right in the heart of things, there are no fast-food restaurants, neon signs or parking meters to disturb your peace and quiet. Carmel golden rectangle homes are not encumbered by street numbers and there is no door-to-door mail delivery. Even Clint Eastwood, former Carmel mayor, must get his mail at the post office.
These are only some of the reasons that Carmel golden rectangle real estate has managed to maintain its appeal and value. Another is Carmel’s role as the area’s cultural hub, boasting the Carmel Bach Festival, Carmel Music Society and the Monterey County Symphony that perform in the spectacular Sunset Center, which recently underwent multi-million dollar renovations. There is also Pacific Repertory Theater, the Monterey Jazz and Monterey Blues festivals and The Carmel Art Festival. These all add to the value of the Carmel golden rectangle real estate market. And living in the golden rectangle area you are minutes away from all the action. Leave your car parked at your golden rectangle home and walk everywhere.
