Presidio of Monterey is an old military base with ties to the Spanish colonial era. The base is currently converted into the headquarters of the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center. It is also the home base of the 229th Military Intelligence Battalion. The nearest city to the base is Monterey, California, itself, a historic city with a rich Spanish cultural heritage. Monterey is also a popular destination for artists as well as writers.

Monterey is not a large city with a large population, so you can expect a relatively open real estate market with plenty of choices of homes for sale for everyone. The most popular neighborhoods in the city are Del Monte, New Monterey, and Cannery Row.

This base features a language institute which is directly managed by the Department of Defense, but your children have plenty of other available options for education. They can attend one of the local schools managed by the local school district, the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District.

Monterey is a picturesque town with plenty of attractions, ensuring that you will not run out of fun things to do while staying here. The most popular things to do are whale-watching, visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and kayaking at Monterey Bay.
