"Beat the fog in Vandenberg, live in Santa Maria"

Living near the Broadway Area (off E. McCoy) offers excellent amenities & easy access to base. To Vandenberg is roughly 20-25 minutes, easy, very pretty commute with hills & vineyards.

The Broadway area real estate is a good mix of homes to buy, but we chose to rent in this area. Very nice rentals, spacious, well kept area of Santa Maria. Sidewalks = easy walks/jogging paths and there is a large neighborhood park, great for pets/kids.

Amenities: grocery stores nearby, restaurants, Target, CostCo & shopping center.

Would definitely live here again, if stationed back in Vandenberg!

Pros Cons
  1. Access to amenities
  2. Easy drive to Vandenberg
  3. Easy access to Highway 101
  1. If buying, can be expensive, homes sell quickly
