Atascadero
Located in the heart of the Central Coast,
Atascadero is halfway between San Francisco and
Los Angeles. Atascadero's central location
provides easy access to the local wine region,
coastal beaches and back roads for bicycling or
touring. Among its most recognizable landmarks
is the 1908 Rotunda Building, which once housed
the City Hall.The upscale Carlton Hotel, which
opened in 2004, is the focal point of the
city's downtown redevelopment plans One of the
most distinguishing characteristics of
Atascadero is the preservation of open space,
protection of trees and hillsides, the keeping
of domestic animals, and large lot sizes.
Atascadero was founded as an "utopian city"
offering residents a creative rural community.
