SLO/Paso Robles among Healthiest Places in U.S.

SLO County
Get healthier in SLO County!

Looking for an excuse to relocate to the Central Coast? While there are plenty, you can add this one to the list. The San Luis Obispo / Paso Robles / Arroyo Grande region was named one of the top 10 healthiest U.S. regions to live in, according to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index for 2017. So when ready to purchase a home in SLO County, contact me, your Central Coast real estate agent!

SLO County received a Well-Being Index Score of 65.2. This region has typically ranked among the highest for well-being since 2008! Gallup determines these scores based on two years of Metropolitan Statistical Area well-being records and more than 354,000 interviews with U.S. adults across all 50 states. Five categories are determined:

  • Purpose: Liking what you do each day and motivation to achieve goals
  • Social: Having supportive relationships and love in your life
  • Financial: Managing your finances while having low stress and high security
  • Community: Liking where you live, feeling safe, having pride for your community
  • Physical: Having good health and energy to get things done each day

When breaking down the Gallup poll even further, we found that Salinas made the top five list for having purpose. San Luis Obispo was second on list of top places for community, and SLO also made the top five for physical. Read more details from the Gallup Well-Being Index.

As a Central Coast real estate agent, I believe there are many factors that play into the high levels of well-being in this area! Here are a few of my thoughts:

Community Events: All throughout the Central Coast region, there are events daily, weekly or monthly to keep residents busy, and which bring people together to give them the feeling of living in a small town. I update this blog regularly with local events and activities for you to take note of!

Outdoor Activities: It is easy to remain healthy and happy with beautiful weather and a million ways to enjoy that weather outdoors! Whether you live on Lake Nacimiento, with peaceful lake living and activities at your fingertips, you live among the vineyards in the valley, or your live along the coast, there is a plethora of trails, water sports, beaches, campsites, etc. to keep you busy.

Stress Relief: Life will also give you reasons to stress, but SLO County provides so many stress relievers too! You can head to a winery’s tasting room any day of the week for a sample or glass of wine, and many wineries host events on a regular basis. Or, spending a day unwinding at Lake Nacimiento! Nothing eases stress better than a day at the lake.

Real Estate: There are housing opportunities for everyone on the Central Coast. You determine your budget, and as a SLO County real estate agent, I can help you find the perfect home to suit your needs. Whether you want a permanent home, vacation home, retirement home or investment property, I can help make your real estate dreams a reality.
