Why you'd want to live in Avila Beach

Make way for play in Arroyo Grande. Farmland, flower fields, vineyards, and lakeside activities make a plentiful playground for family fun. Arroyo Grande’s historic roots run deep and wide throughout The Land of SLO CAL. Come harken back to an era of swinging footbridges, one-room schoolhouses, and free-roaming roosters. In many ways, this Old West town looks the same as it did back in the frontier days. Rugged tradition meets a vibrant craft scene on the quaint streets. Tasting rooms, casual eateries and unique boutiques cater to fashionistas, foodies, and antique collectors alike. Rather “rough it”? Camp or RV under the stars out at Lopez Lake and get back to the kind of nature where the fun is as wild as the wildlife. As for Arroyo Grande’s whereabouts, it’s a short stroll back in time — and conveniently situated just north of San Luis Obispo and a couple of miles east of PCH. via slocal.com
