Affordable Monterey County

For those of us who live in and love the Monterey Peninsula "affordable" would probably not be the first word we would use to describe the cost of real estate, or anything else for that matter.  However, Monterey County came in at 50% affordable in a recent study.   If one takes into account the reach of Monterey County from Prunedale/N. County down as far as King City/Gonzales/Soledad and encompassing Salinas Valley to the East one can start to get a bigger picture and appreciate that there are pockets of true affordability in Monterey County.
