Railroad district condos

If you are looking for real estate in San Luis Obispo, this article might help you discover which area is the right fit for you. The historic Railroad District is one of the most distinctive and sought after neighborhoods. One visit is enough to see why people are clamoring to live here. The area is most easily distinguished by its quiet, tree-lined streets and charming homes with a craftsman style architecture that hearkens back to a bygone era. The area is popular with young professionals and families who enjoy spending sunny days at Emmerson and Mitchel Parks or taking a stroll to the many restaurants including Sally Loo's Wholesome Cafe, Lotus Asian Cuisine, and Cafe Roma. Residents also enjoy being walking distance from the excitement of Downtown San Luis Obispo, but being far enough away to enjoy the privacy of their home. The defining piece of this neighborhood is the Railroad Museum and the bustling Amtrack station which is easily recognized by the striking statue in the turnabout and the popular bridge for pedestrians and bicyclists which connects one side of the neighborhood to the other. If you are exploring the Railroad District for your new home, there is a certain price range you should expect. A quaint home on Garden Street with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and 700 square feet went for $370,000. On the other hand, a newly restored property with 2 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a guest house with distinctive styling recently sold for $708,500 on Toro Street. There are also new high end condos being developed that are a perfect blend of the neighborhood's historic roots and new modern flair.  For a relatively moderate price, you can call this little piece of history home.
