What San Carlos Homeowners Face
Growing Downtown Condos
San Carlos is adding condo and mixed-use inventory along Laurel Street and Old County Road. Newer construction generally means modern master policies, but every building is different.
4 Miles from the Fault
San Carlos is among the closest Peninsula cities to the San Andreas Fault. Earthquake coverage for your condo interior and loss assessment exposure is essential.
Smaller Associations
Many San Carlos condos are in smaller 4-12 unit buildings where the HOA may not have the same resources as large complexes. Master policies can be less comprehensive.
