The Coto de Caza real estate market reflects the city’s historical atmosphere. At about the time that the colonies on the east coast gained independence from Great Britain, the Spanish friars got started with the famous Coto de Caza Mission. The oldest, continuously lived in community in California known as the Los Rios District is a neighborhood made up of very old, board and batten homes that are remarkably well preserved and command prices today that their original builders could never have imagined 

Today, the Mission is an important community center and the town is a living Western Town museum where residents and visitors love to shop, enjoy cultural activities and dine out. Modern day building restrictions that prevent ridgeline building help keep Coto de Caza real estate always in demand.

Much of the real estate in Coto de Caza has a rural flavor with homes built along horse trails and on generous lots and often within gate-guarded communities.  However, the city also provides ample senior housing, condominiums as well as a variety of tree-lined family neighborhoods.  It is also a city that boasts several religious schools serving students from Kindergarten to high school and this attracts many families to the area.

Almost anywhere you might buy a home in Coto de Caza you will find tales of the Coto de Caza Indians whose real name is the unpronounceable, Acjachemen Nation.  These people lived in the area before the Spanish came and they provided the labor for building the Mission. Their homes, built with reeds that grew along the river, were never built for long time usage but their culture thrives in Coto de Caza and enriches the area.
