About Southern California Homes & Living
When people from other parts of the country (and the world) think about California, they primarily conjure up images of Southern California:
* Fun and glamour
* Movie Stars
* Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Hollywood
* Wide boulevards lined with palm trees
* Huge sprawling mansions
* Surfboards, beaches and swimming pools
* Mild sunny days and cool comfortable nights
Yet for many of these people, Southern California seems to be a place about which to fantasize and not a practicable place to live. Yet hundreds of thousands of people, both young and old, will tell you they would not consider living any place other than the Golden State.
Southern California is not just a place - it is also a state of mind. People are in better physical condition here than in many other states and no matter what your age, in this city of dreams, almost everyone thinks young.
The centerpiece of Southern California is, of course, Los Angeles. It has been often said that LA is “a city in search of itself” - meaning the sprawling city has no specific center and no designated downtown area.
The temperate climate of Southern California is conducive to year-round outdoor fun activities related to the ocean: surfing, swimming, diving, boating, fishing, tanning.
In and around the City of Los Angeles are any number of cultural, recreational, educational and entertainment activities. The area's reputation as a trendsetter for the rest of the nation makes for an attractive destination for the young and upwardly mobile population.
In Southern California, you are never far from a beach. Some of the country's finest are Manhattan Beach, Marina Del Rey, Santa Monica, Venice, Newport and Laguna. Most days are beach days and in Southern California, it is easy to enhance your appearance with a constant golden tan. You can mix fun and exercise by gathering a group of friends and playing a fun game of volley ball. Or take a beach chair and a book and spend an afternoon reading or meditating in the glorious sunshine.
Southern California is a place to be active because the weather is so cooperative with 291.7 days being sunny to partly sunny. Average rainfall for the year is about 14 - 15 inches with only about 34. 2 rainfall days. Average temperature is 75.6 high and 56.6 low. There are no extremes of snow or cold to keep you indoors.
What about specific places to live? A garland of small cities surround Los Angeles and these are the places that form the idea of southern California living.
