Finding a place to live and maybe buying a house can be hard. If you are thinking about California here we´ll give you the cheapest places to live in California, this list is for you. Nobody wants a giant mortgage but in most of California, that is what you are going to get.
California is one the richest states in the nation not just economically speaking either, it’s rich in natural beauty the weather the beaches mountains and all that cosmetic surgery makes California beautiful.
California is a highly desirable place to live and that’s a fact and it shows by the cost of living and housing prices. Today’s list is not about San Francisco, It’s about places in California that still might be considered a cheap place to live at least by California standards.
I’ll spread it out with places that are nice, and inexpensive compared to the rest of California.
10. 29 Palms California
29 Palms was named after the Palm tres found there in 1852 by Colonel Henry Washington, he decides to do a Little surveying in the área and found some tres a whole lot of dirt and rocks the town of almost twenty-six thousand resident sits just outside the Joshua Tree National Park they also have the Marine Corps Air Group combat center at 29 palms or just 29 palms. Palms is 33 percent lower than California’s average which’s Pretty Good. That’s a low number and it’s seven percent lower than the national average. 29 Palms housing is 25 percent lower than the national average you can get a house here for a low as 150,000 you probably won’t want that house but it’s there for you if you want to get a better house probably the nices ones start of around 250 and go all the way up to 350 maybe most of them don’t have lawns because this place is desert and dry but you might be lucky if you have a Bush.
9. Blythe California
Blythe California is what you get when you combine desert and retirees on a fixed income the good news is it’s cheap to live here the city was incorporated on July 21st 1916 the population was 20 thousand at the 2010 census and they think it’s dropped a little bit, they are not really sure how much we’ll find out in a year, so when this census is over Blythe is in the Colorado desert which is part of the Sonora desert, yes it is in California and it’s called the Colorado desert the Colorado River flows just east of town, so it sort of makes sense blights housing is 30 percent lower than the national average and the cost of living is 34 percent lower than California’s average and the cost of living is 8 percent lower than the national average in Blythe you can get a home, you don’t want for under $150,000 and get one you probably do want for $225,000 they have a bunch of mobile homes here and what’s weird is they have a bunch of homes that they aren’t mobile homes but they look like they are, it’s like they design them that way.
8. Chowchilla California
Chowchilla is in between Merced and Fresno Merced. Chowchilla also has the valley state prison real close and I think people would rather mention that they live near a prison than near Fresno.
