What are the best places in California to live?

The best places to live anywhere you consider must take into account a variety of things that will affect your daily life, not just the cost. Housing and rent prices throughout California are some the highest in the U.S. Never mind, think of the weather and personal safety, quality of education and lifestyle.

It's not just the top spots you see celebrities enjoying, but smaller places where crime rates are low and neighbors are friendly and helpful. Los Alto's prices are very high. And it's in the heart of Silicon Valley. However, homes there will set you back over $500,000, and your neighbors will be earning $100,000 or more. There is also Piedmont and Coronado and Belmont.

The best place in California to live is probably San Diego. There are beaches there and many places to eat at and entertainment galore. You will enjoy a nice climate too. Another nice place to live is Hollywood if you can afford to do so.

In Hollywood, there are many nice homes and celebrities too. And, all the cities on the coast are nice, like Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, and so forth. You really can't go wrong when you live in California unless you move to a place like Bakersfield where the pesitcides in the air get trapped between the mountains and there is a lot of sickness. Ventura is great as well.
