There are many wonderful neighborhoods in Carmel Valley and the “Brookdale area” close to the world renowned Quail Lodge and Golf Course is one of the most-desired. It’s just five minutes from Hwy One but far enough from the Coast to have warm sunshine in the summertime instead of the coastal fog. The weather is ideal for outdoor living so whatever your passion may be … golf, tennis, swimming, hiking, horseback riding, or walking on the beach – it’s close by.

There are numerous golf courses (Quail, Rancho Canada, Carmel Valley Ranch) to choose from within a few miles and the nearby Carmel Valley Athletic Club (CVAC) offers swimming, tennis, fitness training and classes.

Just across Carmel Valley Road is September Ranch where you can board your horse and ride on beautiful valley trails for miles. Garland Park is a treasure also with miles of trails for hikers, equestrians, and even bird watchers! The white sands of Carmel Beach are a few minutes away and if you travel south a few miles you’ll experience the phenomenal Point Lobos.

The Brookdale area is served by the Carmel Unified School District. The elementary children go to the highly regarded River School in Carmel, then to Carmel Middle School and High School. There are also very fine private schools not far from this neighborhood such as All Saints and Junipero Serra School. All of these attributes are great, but when you talk to the residents who live here the number one thing they find so desirable is that it is a “real neighborhood” with caring neighbors who look out for each other. Not always easy to find these days. If you’d like to consider living in this fabulous area, give me a call (831-320-6801); I have just the home for you!
