Located in the heart of the Monterey Bay, the Pajaro Valley is nestled right-in-between Santa Cruz and Monterey and offers the ideal environment for living and working. Many generations of families have called the Pajaro Valley home, making it rich with history and pride! You can take a steam train through the redwood forest with Roaring Camp Railroads and end up at one of the many beautiful city and county beaches, all in the same day. Where else can you do that? Or if a bird’s eye view is what you are looking for, Specialized Aviation can make it happen!

Join the landscape by picking your own berries and apples at Gizdich Ranch or enjoy a refreshing glass of wine from Alfaro Family Vineyards, Anatum Wines, El Vaquero Winery, or Integrity Wines.
