[quote=Anonymous]I agree with Carmel.  I actually like PG better -- it is more family-friendly, closer to Monterey, more "real" stores (the type I would actually shop at.  BUT, this is a perfect example of the bad investment of PG -- PG prices go up and down, the beach (Lover's Point" basically is not nice and just a tourist magnet, there are too many run-down homes.  Carmel is an investment that will last forever and right now PG is way overpriced.

We also picked Carmel, after a LOT of looking and trying to make PG work and just realizing that PG is NOT as nice and every single time we saw a Carmel home (even when we were outbid), we liked it more.  Carmel is also safer, has a more cohesive community, is an easier walk to 2 beaches, is a long, but doable walk to Pebble Beach, has a better "center" of town and has more arts options (galleries, First Saturday walk, Forest Grove theater, etc).  It just is a better choice unless you have young kids and are looking to overpay for the "family" vibe (unkempt lawns, toys in front, tacky xmas lights) of PG.

Sorry if this post is so long but no one else explained why Carmel is better.[/quote]
