Atascadero
Once a huge horse ranch, this eastern neighborhood was originally developed in 1960 and proved equally popular with wealthy Mexican Nationals and ex-pats alike price ranges here are now similar to Balcones, mostly all Luxury Collection level. A quiet, sprawling all-residential neighborhood, homes here can often offer better value—more land, more square footage—for the trade-off of being uphill (i.e., not an easy walk) with few city vistas, save for the neighborhood’s western edge. Lawns and sometimes swimming pools are not uncommon here, and the quiet solitude makes your nightly dog walk a joy. Thinking of moving on up to the east side? Come take a tour of Atascadero and enjoy your piece of the pie!
