San Luis Obispo combines college-town energy with Central Coast appeal. Nestled between the Santa Lucia Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, this welcoming community is home to the historic Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, established in 1772. California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) adds to the city's dynamic atmosphere while the area maintains its small-town character. Downtown features tree-lined streets with Victorian-era architecture, local shops, restaurants, and the popular Thursday night Farmers' Market. The rental market reflects the city's appeal, with current average rents ranging from $1,893 for a one-bedroom to $4,209 for a four-bedroom residence, showing modest year-over-year increases across most unit sizes.
The Mediterranean climate makes San Luis Obispo ideal for outdoor recreation. The Nine Sisters volcanic peaks, including Bishop Peak and Cerro San Luis, provide hiking trails with panoramic views.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
