The numbers
What Avila Beach costs
Median closed sale price — Avila Beach against the rest of the Five Cities submarket and the county as a whole.
Rents: the 2BR figure above is an Estimate scaled from Rentometer’s June 2026 San Luis Obispo County averages ($3,058 house, $2,519 apartment). No public per-town rent source exists for this county, so treat it as a starting point rather than an appraisal — for a number on an actual property, ask us.
For owners
Property management in Avila Beach
Peak manages residential and commercial property across San Luis Obispo County from our office on Chorro Street in San Luis Obispo, 15 minutes from Avila Beach.

Single-family & small multifamily
Marketing, screening, leasing and full management for houses, condos and small unit counts in Avila Beach and the surrounding Five Cities market.

How the lease types work →Buying & selling here
