Finding a House in California

If you’re moving to California for the first time, whether it’s due to a new school, a new job, a change of temperatures, or simply wanting a new scenery, California makes for a great place to be. With that said, have you considered the various aspects of California you may want to know beforehand?

Weather

California has a large range of temperatures that vary throughout, meaning you’re sure to find somewhere that has just what you’re looking for. Whether you choose more coastal, to be more inland with more weather extremes, or opt for Nor-Cal that tends to experiences the seasons, there’s a city with the weather you’re looking for somewhere in California.

Choosing a City

When it comes to cities in California, just like the weather, there are plenty of options depending on what you’re looking for. For those wanting to prioritize large-company jobs, Los Angeles or San Francisco area may be just where you need to be. If you’re looking for a more laid-back feel, cities in San Diego County may give you the work-life balance (and beach) you’re looking for. If you’re looking for smaller cities more inland, places like Bakersfield or the Antelope Valley offer smaller communities. You can also choose to prioritize city life, the beach scene, or a more serene and quiet environment depending on you and your family’s needs.

Entertainment & Activities

Another incredible benefit for California residents is the large variety of activities available. Another great news is you don’t necessarily have to settle. Depending on where you choose, you may be a short drive away from accessing other sceneries and activities you may not have access to when you’re at home. When choosing your city and home, ensure you like the neighborhoods around, the leisurely activities (such as hiking, skiing, surfing…), and shops, museums, and events you’re looking for.

Understand What You Need

The last thing you need to do before making any final decisions is you need to know what you’re looking for and how the numbers look before proceeding. Figure out how many bedrooms and bathrooms you’d like if you’ll need room for extra storage or hosting additional guests, the ideal property size, your outdoor space requirements, and your ideal home style. All of these are important factors that contribute to your dream home.
