Learn more about renting in Monterey, CA

Monterey, a gorgeous city located on the central coastline of California, was founded more than two centuries ago. It existed before the formation of the United States, serving as the capital of Alta, California, under Mexico and Spain between 1804 and 1846. During this time, the city hosted the first public building, library, printing press, and theater in what is now known as the state of California.

Many famous artists and writers have called this city home over the years, as its surroundings attract those who want to represent its beauty in their artistic works. A few well-known residents include Bruce Ariss, Doris Day, Clint Eastwood, and John Steinbeck. One of its most popular attractions is the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which focuses its exhibits on the marine habitats in the nearby Monterey Bay. This location was the first to care for and display a great white shark.

Visitors and locals enjoy visiting the Monterey Museum of Art and Fisherman's Wharf. Both of these attractions draw crowds daily. Various arts and crafts festivals take place each year on the wharf. Another annual event is the Monterey Jazz Festival, which brings thousands of jazz musicians and fans to the city.

Although the city has been around for centuries, it has a population of just over 28,000 residents. Its economy relies heavily on tourism. Some of the top employers in Monterey include the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, Dole Fresh Vegetables, and the Defense Language Institute. Several sports teams play in the city, including the Monterey Amberjacks, a professional baseball team, and the Monterey Bay FC, a professional expansion soccer team.

Check out this unique city to experience a coastal, laid-back atmosphere.
