10 Most Affordable Places to Live in California 2024

[@roelgonzales5133]

Nothing is affordable in California specially real estates.

[@Justaguywithtruth]

Look up near Redding😂👍

[@kimkelly5512]

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.

😂👋😄👍

[@LaraSierra28]

I can think of some lovely places inland where the cost of living is not outrageous, the people are very nice, and there are fabulous attractions nearby. Thank you for not mentioning them.

[@mariajaravata7053]

I like Chico Ca.

[@muzikizfun]

Living under the freeway is the cheapest and best place! I mean, everyone is doing it, so it must be good, right?

[@user-dn5iz3qp3z]

Hahahahahaha.......I never thought of that.........quite correct!!!

[@shinyape1741]

Modesto, Fresno, Bakersfield are great choices. I think Sacramento, Stockton & even Visalia are worth considering as well.

[@CatherineWatanabe-ie8kq]

There are no affordable places to live in California, anywhere you go, whether in the ghettos or affluent neighborhoods, they are expensive. California’s housing is sky rocketing high. 😊

[@azizsazman6346]

You forgot to mention Barstow, Desert Hot Springs, Palm Desert, Lancaster, Palmdale, and Hesperia, Helendale, and Silver Lakes.

[@maxsmart8954]

DEATH VALLEY AND APPLE VALLEY.

[@NormanSilver]

Add Ludlow, Baghdad, and Rice.

[@user-dn5iz3qp3z]

not really, the desert towns are booming with people 'dying' to get out of the cities.

[@andysimmons2423]

Did the AI narrator seriously say Nord Ave is among the safest places to live in Chico? 🤣

[@valutoomalatai2320]

California is very expensive! Especially the rental Apts. houses etc. and foods

[@hsinhuang6039]

Affordable places of California are alone the coast outside called "international water"

[@jhughlee]

Who ever made this list dose not live in California or has verry little knowledge of the land scape in California you missed the best and listed some of the states worse places to live.

[@irenegaruba48]

That’s why they’re affordable. By California standards.

[@jhughlee]

@@irenegaruba48 meaning what? My point is there are affordable places to live in California by California standards that ain't San Bernardino or Modesto hell you should have listed Compton if that's the case

[@DeanneVanPeursem]

😂 I now live in Chicago. And I wanted to watch this… Rialto has a high crime rate. So does Ontario lol let me reword this lol most the cities are high crime areas… minus Rancho. I was arguing with the damn channel Victorville low crime rate. That was the main crack town ever!!! 😂

[@DeanneVanPeursem]

@@jhughleelmao Compton and they think the rumors of Compton was just for Tv shows outside of California loo

[@vj5225]

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) 5.Modesto/Patterson(Silicone Valley) 4. Victorville/Hesperia (Los Angeles) 3. Yuba City/Marysville (Sacramento) 2. Linda/Olivehurst (Sacramento) 1. Live Oak/Oroville (Chico)

[@tiffanymendoza775]

Bakersfield could be on this list too!

[@vj5225]

@@tiffanymendoza775 Very true. The list I made is for cities less than 100 mi away from a major city. That's why Bakersfield and Fresno didn't make the cut.

[@robertchilders8698]

You must be a native Californian! I, being poor, have lived in most of them! A good assesment!

[@vj5225]

@@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.

[@Amanda-im4so]

@@jdos5643 unfortunately, Kansas. Hope to move back to CA this summer. Never in a million years would I have ever thought I would say that. I left in 2004 (crime, gangs and poorly funded schools) with no job or housing to move to central TX. I had finished my MBA in May and moved in August thinking (naïvely lol) that I would get a job in a snap….I worked at Logan’s for the first 4 months. Hahaha. Only moved to KS for a job this a teen caused a head on collision and am now disabled. The isolation made me think more and more of home. My girls are grown now and I miss it. Weird how you come full circle. :)

@@jdos5643 originally I moved to central tx but moved to Kansas in 2021 for a job but a teenager caused a head on collision at 55mph and am now disabled and stuck. Been 2 years and we are barely getting to go to trial in the fall. I am 48 now and my girls are grown. Before the accident I would have never even thought of moving back home. Now it’s all I want to do.

If you find a house in Ontario in mid 500 I will give you a million bucks or even a Rancho Cucamonga in mid 600 I'll give you 2 million for that

[@user-dn5iz3qp3z]

hey, I grew up in Ontario when we moved out from Iowa in the early 's. It was a great town back then AND affordable.

What you save in housing, you make up in utility bills. Especially living in the middle of the desert…

[@craigjorgensen4637]

Some of your choices here I would strongly disagree with. Some are dangerous crime ridden places to live in. Most are very HOT in the summer months!

[@ddeanw.3237]

Yes, EXTREMELY hot. NO sea breeze to speak of. At least in Sacramento (where I live) we have "built-in AC" at least 90% of the time. On these 100+ days, we always look forward to the delta breeze cooling us off at night.

Average on bedroom in san francisco is about $3200 a month. What they heck were you looking at there? A mansion? This video did a pretty good job finding the cheapest places in CA.

[@rayshepherd2479]

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.
