Robert and Gloria’s story
The Coastside is a very special place for Robert and Gloria Zadek. It’s where they first met over 46 years ago on Montara Beach. Robert grew up in San Mateo and Gloria in Medford, Oregon. But the unique qualities of the coast drew them to Half Moon Bay, which has been their home since the late 70’s. They feel the Coastside aligns with their preferences for open space, outdoor activities, and small-town atmosphere. “The fact that the coast has not exploded like the rest of the Bay Area has allowed for it to maintain a tight knit community. We are all looking out for one another and we are proud to be a part of this community.”
