Morro Bay
A working harbor with a 576-foot volcanic plug parked at the end of it. Otters, fog most mornings, and a downtown that stays a fishing town rather than a resort. Second homes and short-term rentals compete hard with long-term inventory.

The numbers
What Morro Bay costs
Median closed sale price — Morro Bay 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.
