The numbers
What Cayucos costs
Median closed sale price — Cayucos against the rest of the Coastal North 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.

Peak manages residential and commercial property across San Luis Obispo County from our office on Chorro Street in San Luis Obispo, 25 minutes from Cayucos.

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

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 →Buying & selling here
