About San Ardo

Located right off Highway 101 in southern Monterey County, San Ardo is a tiny, quiet community set against the hills of the southern Salinas Valley. With roughly five hundred residents, the town revolves around local farming and the nearby oil fields. It offers a calm, slow-paced rural lifestyle with wide-open skies and low-key living, while everyday essentials and bigger town amenities are easily accessible a short drive away in King City or Paso Robles.
