Pines meet the sea Coastal North San Luis Obispo County

Cambria

Monterey pines running straight down to the surf, an East and West Village, and Hearst Castle up the road. Tourism drives the retail. Water moratorium history means supply barely moves.

Sale prices: San Luis Obispo County MLS closed sales, June 2026 — 271 sales countywide at a $915,000 median. Towns with too few closed sales to break out show “not reported” rather than a number.
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 Cambria

Peak manages residential and commercial property across San Luis Obispo County from our office on Chorro Street in San Luis Obispo, 40 minutes from Cambria. That means leasing and tenant placement, rent collection and owner reporting, maintenance coordination with local trades, and the compliance side — inspections, notices, and the rules that apply here specifically.

Residential

Single-family & small multifamily

Marketing, screening, leasing and full management for houses, condos and small unit counts in Cambria and the surrounding Coastal North market.

Commercial

Retail, office, industrial & flex

Lease administration, CAM reconciliation and tenant relations for commercial space — a different discipline from residential, and the side most local managers don’t do.

How the lease types work →

Brokerage

Buying & selling here

We’re a licensed brokerage as well as a manager, so an owner selling in Cambria works with someone who already knows what the asset actually produces.
