Private Park @ Hidden PinesHidden Pines is a lovely little gated community located in northwest Santa Maria. It boasts a private park and streets, and borders the Santa Maria Riverbed walking trail. The homes were built approximately 15 years ago and feature tile roofs and 2 car garages. The development is surrounded by other popular developments, Cherry Blossom Ranch, Essex at Willow Creek, and the gated community of Regency Estates. Hidden Pines offers convenient access to Highway 101 and is walking distance to Presiker Park. The association fee is about $65 – $75 per month. The last resale I found for the development was a bank owned 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1400 square foot home which sold for $200,000 on January 30, 2009.

The average price for a home in Santa Maria and Orcutt edged up only slightly from $250,000 in December 2008 to $252,000 in December 2009, reflecting the fact that the market appears to be stabilizing. Also, the average price for condos has gone up from $120,000 to $168,500.
