Watsonville CA Real Estate
Watsonville is the hub of the south county area.

Many new developments and large shopping centers have lured buyers into this beautiful agricultural valley. Watsonville offers its residents a higher quality of life and a lower cost of living. It has not lost its charm, however; historic Victorian homes and late 1880s storefronts line Main street while the surrounding areas are a mix of modest housing and country homes.
