Review of Paso Robl,

Overview
Star Rating - 4/24/2014
I was born in Paso. When I was a kid, it was all dry dirt farmers & pickup trucks. Now its all about the wine business & Beemers...
Its having growing pains, & water table issues. The schools were better in the past, but still OK. Too much gang influence, IMO...
The weather is wonderful more times than not. A little hot in the summer (but it does cool off in the evenings thanks to the breeze coming down from Monterrey), a little cold in the winter. I'm a golfer, and I play year around. But I do kick some ice off the cleats in the early winter rounds.
All and all, Paso is wonderful.(pretty expendive, but wonderful) But to be honest, I'm looking for a little smaller, slower paced place to live...

I've lived here for almost 8 years now. Pros - Great weather, small town feel. Lots of concerts/wine tasting/activities. Slow pace. Cons - Good luck getting any services. I drive to Bakersfied for Dr/Dentist/CPA. Recently I needed an X-ray. They were scheduling a month out. If you need work done on your house, good luck getting someone to pick up the phone. There is no infastructure here. Lack of shopping, restaurants, you have to drive to SLO or Santa Maria. Traffic Enginnering is the worst I've ever seen (lived in 2 other cities). Good luck finding a good job outside of hospitality. The city council is more focused on tourism than the community members. They just keep building hotels and big corporate wine is taking over. Its getting harder to live here every year.

Great place to live. It's close to everything yet has a peaceful environment. Beautiful scenery, dry climate is much better than humidity. Newer homes with much better prices than Templeton or the rest of the county. A real diamond in the rough.
