San Luis Obispo

San Luis Obispo (SLO) is filled with a vast array of dining experiences, shops, salons, and activities to please every taste!

Welcome to San Luis Obispo

“SLO” is an extremely lively college town with a never-ending array of activities to choose from. With the weather, that’s reminiscent of Southern California (lots of sun, and not too hot) SLO’s residential neighborhoods are lined with tropical Jacaranda trees that bloom with amazing lavender flowers every year. There’s citrus in the front yards and a downtown that stays shaded with help from the giant Ficus trees that grace the streets. SLO is not just a town, but a way of life that is chill, but active and takes full advantage of the beauty and natural environment that only SLO has to offer. There are 31 walking/hiking trails in SLO. It has been designated as a “Bicycle Friendly” community by the League of American Bicyclists since 2007 and raised to the “gold level” in 2015. With over 75 miles of bike paths, it is no wonder bicyclists love SLO! The downtown area of SLO is filled with a vast array of dining experiences, shops, salons, and activities to please every taste! The population grows substantially when Cal Poly (California Polytechnic State University) is in session, the students and residents have lived harmoniously together for decades and many stay on to live the SLO Life and contribute to the ever-growing economy of the area. Overall, one of the most amazing places on the central coast to live.
