"Carmel-by-the-Sea offers an enchanting lifestyle characterized by its walkability, strong sense of community and vibrant local businesses," said Susan Cardinale, a representative with Sotheby's.
"While big cities may be an essential part of our country's economic and social life, small towns are becoming an increasingly popular option for settling down," according to Travel + Leisure's real estate experts.
Carmel-by-the-Sea – a town of about 3,000 residents – is described as 'a village in a forest overlooking a white sand beach,' appealing for its scenic beauty.
However, the travel site said, real estate in the Monterey County city comes at 'a steep price'. The average sales price for a home for June 2024 was $2.53 million.
