Monterey stretches along the southern edge of Monterey Bay on California's Central Coast, home to the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, historic Cannery Row, and a protected marine sanctuary where sea otters play and whales migrate. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Monterey, you'll discover everything from communities in the historic Old Monterey district with preserved Spanish colonial architecture to waterfront and downtown residences. The city's compact nine square miles mean you can easily reach coastal trails, shopping districts, and cultural attractions without dealing with long commutes.
