Litchfield, CA

When people think of California, real estate is usually not the first thing that comes to mind. However, in Litchfield, real estate is a major part of the economy. In fact, according to the 2016 American Community Survey, Litchfield ranks as the ninth most populous city in California and the second most populous city in San Bernardino County. With over 101,000 residents, Litchfield has a lot to offer potential homebuyers.

One of the biggest benefits of living in Litchfield is its proximity to both Los Angeles and San Bernardino. Both cities are well-known for their high population densities and vast array of shopping and entertainment options. Additionally, Litchfield is just a short drive from several popular ski resorts and golf courses.

However, not all aspects of living in Litchfield are perfect. The city has a high cost of living relative to other parts of California, and there isn't much available for recreational activities outside of work or school (although there are several parks within close proximity). Additionally, while crime rates have decreased over recent years, they remain higher than average for cities of its size. All things considered though, if you're looking for an affordable place to live with plenty of amenities and access to major metropolitan areas, Litchfield may be your best option."
