This
Scotts Valley (northern Santa Cruz County) house is smaller, fewer
bedrooms, and more than $300,000 more than the home advertised in Royal
Oaks (northern Monterey County.) Moreover, the Royal Oaks property is
over 2 acres and in a gated community. The Scotts Valley house is a
standard lot in a subdivision.
The "Walk Score" on the Scotts
Valley house is much better than the Royal Oaks house. Goes to show the
new trend of being walking distance to amenities is a growing attribute
in property choices.
