4 SLO homes you can buy for about $530,000 — the county’s median price

Curious what San Luis Obispo County’s median home price of $530,000 can get you these days in San Luis Obispo itself?

Here’s a look at four properties, from a condo near Broad Street to a 784-square-foot home tucked on a triangle lot between Highway 101 and an off-ramp.

556 Hathway Ave.: $559,000

This home is touted for its investment potential as a longtime rental to Cal Poly students. The seller also notes it is “convenient to freeway access,” which is certainly true given its location on a triangle lot between Highway 101 and the Montalban Street off-ramp. It’s within walking distance of Santa Rosa Park.
