About Bay Ridge of Monterey:

High above the spectacular Monterey Peninsula along California's Pacific Coast, Bay Ridge is 120 miles south of San Francisco and 330 miles north of Los Angeles with convienent accessibility to state and federal highways. The Monterey Airport is just 5 minutes away, and it is 12 miles in one direction to Carmel, 12 miles in the other to Salinas and only 8.5 miles to downtown Monterey.The famous Bernardus winery in Carmel Valley is a short 10 minute drive out the back gate.

BAY RIDGE was established in 1985 at 1100 feet above sea level on lots varying from 1.5 to 15 acres. Each lot was carefully planned to blend with the natural terrain, maximize views and provide exceptional privacy. Zoning in the community is designated LDR-B-6-VS low density residential. The community of over 400 acres includes and is adjacent to several scenic conservation areas. Currently 95 homes have been built or are under construction, representing 90% of the 105 lots that have been approved for building.

Recreational and cultural opportunities abound around the community. Seventeen golf courses are located on the Monterey Peninsula, known as the “Golf capital of the World.” Two popular courses, the prestigious and private Pasadera Jack Nicholas course and the public Laguna Seca golf course are a few short minutes away. Tennis, swimming, scuba diving, sailing and horseback riding are other popular sports. In fact, there are many Horseback riding trails surrounding BAY RIDGE. Some annual attractions include the AT&T pro am golf tournament, the Concours d’Elegance car show, the Bach festival, the Obon Festival and the Monterey Jazz festival.

Most importantly this location enjoys exceptional weather for the area. Sited at approximately 1100 feet above sea level, Bay Ridge is frequently above the fogline in the bright sunshine on the peninsula. The temperature is approximately 5 to 10 degrees warmer than Monterey proper on any given day allowing for the utilization of outdoor spaces on a more regular basis. It's lofty altitude lends itself to magnificent views in all directions including across the Monterey Bay all the way to Santa Cruz.

Discriminating persons, seeking a tranquil environment of exquisite beauty, privacy, security, magnificent views, and impeccable weather will find in BAY RIDGE the culmination of their dreams.
