A Place Unlike Any Other

Established in 1985, Bay Ridge is a private gated residential community encompassing 400 acres along Scenic Route 68, five miles west of downtown Monterey, California. Our community's elevated position — averaging 1,100 feet above sea level — provides residents with sweeping, unobstructed views that few communities in the region can match.

With 113 residential lots varying from 1.7 to 15 acres, Bay Ridge offers genuine privacy and space alongside the convenience of Monterey Peninsula living. Seventeen dedicated open space parcels woven throughout the community preserve its natural character and provide buffer to adjacent scenic conservation areas.
