"Prunedale's exact boundaries are somewhat confusing. Except for Prunedale's bounds with Elkhorn, an easy definition of Prunedale is: if a drop of water lands and it tends to run toward Langley Creek which flows along Highway 101, then that is Prunedale." - North Monterey County Chamber of Commerce
Prunedale's history, like its residential boundaries, is unclear. According to local archives, the little community got its start c. 1900 when a prominent banker from nearby Watsonville took an interest in the area. Some say he was a postmaster-turned-banker, others that he was a banker-turned-postmaster. Yet others mention nothing of his propensity for letter-pitching. Most do agree that he was a savvy businessman who knew his investments. Either way, his affection for the area gave it the prominence that was needed, and roads and civilization soon followed. Equally mysterious, however, is the origin of its name, which most sources attribute to a failed attempt to grow plum trees in Prunedale's arid Mediterranean climate. Whether the town was named Prunedale before the plum tree disaster, or because of it, remains a mystery as well. But the little town just north of Salinas overlooking Monterey Bay remains one of Monterey County's best-kept secrets, with rambling romantic-sounding streets and sunny vistas that are often reminiscent of a Southern European hideaway, overlooking some of the best coastal scenery California has to offer.

Prunedale apartments with garages are sometimes more expensive than other options. However, they may make more financial sense in the long run.
Weather, break-ins, and daily struggles to find a space can take a toll financially and physically. Remember that even cities in mild climates experience issues like salt air, tornadoes, hail, falling branches from storms, and other issues.
It’s also possible to score an auto insurance reduction if you park in a garage. Ask your insurance provider about any deals or discounts that could trim money off the cost of your monthly bill.
Before signing a lease, ask the landlord or property manager about any restrictions on garage use. It’s important to know if there are enough spaces for tenants and visitors and what happens if the garage is full. If you’re moving into an apartment inside a home, ask about any conditions on its use and if storage is allowed.
