  • 10 Most Affordable Places to Live in California 2024.
    Thoughts of California are often accompanied by visions of endlessly warm weather, San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, and ocean waves crashing alongside sandy beaches. California is truly the Golden State of the United States. Driving north from the Mexican border, you will be in awe of the changing scenery of beaches, mountaintops, deserts, and grassy meadows. California’s natural beauty is as diverse as the people living in it.
    However, nobody would claim that California is a cheap place to live. It is not a secret that the prices in California are higher than those in other states. Despite this fact, life in California is still achievable, and there are plenty of affordable cities to choose from for your next home.
    We assessed the cost of living across Californian cities and compared them to the national average. The cost of living is calculated based on five main categories: housing, food, healthcare, transportation, and energy. Based on these calculations, we narrowed down the list of the top 10 most affordable places to live in California.

    The average income is 92,000.00 in Rancho Cucamonga, 32,000.00 Coachella. And so on in other places, I live on SSDI I can't even afford to rent an apartment, and this is after working for 26 years in the Banking Industry. Fortunately I own a small mobile home and pay space rent. I don't know who made up this list but they are wrong.

    Horrible selections. Here is a true list of cities near popular cities that are affordable. Some are put together due to proximity. See below:
    10. Vallejo (San Francisco)
    9. Sacramento (San Francisco)
    8. Palmdale/Lancaster (Los Angeles)
    7. Stockton (San Francisco)
    6. Lodi/Galt (Sacramento)

      @@robertchilders8698 Yes, I am a native Californian. I bought a house in the Yuba City/Marysville area and love it here. I couldn't afford anything in Sacramento that was in a decent area and other family members already moved there. Totally worth it for what you pay. It's about a 45-minute drive to Sacramento and around 35 min drive to Roseville. There is about 200,000 people in the area so there is actually plenty of work in the area as long as you are okay with working for the government or in the medical field. I've lived all over California and learned what areas are affordable near major cities and thought of this list. The hidden gem on my list is Vallejo considering the cost of living and the weather is really nice. By the way, you're not poor, you're just a regular person trying to survive like many of us. The best thing you can do is vote and please vote for who is doing the work and not just the party you associate with. I think that's where many of us have made the mistake and don't know how damaging the consequences are down the road. Take care and wish you well.

      I live in a gated community called Lake Wildwood. It's located between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe. Average housing is around $590,000. However, this includes lakefront homes on the 300 acre lake which increases the average price. In addition to the price there is an eighteen hole golf course, club house, community center and several parks adjacent to the lake. A positive and negative is it's in a heavily forested area. The positive is that it's beautiful, the negative is that it's a high fire area.
