I know Jeff made the LA forum on here but it does not get a lot of action. Wondering if someone knows of one that is LA oriented?

Not that I have ever found - I wish there were. Use the LA forum more often, OP, and I will be there with you!

You didn’t read the OP. She knows about that already.

I'm looking for an all-California forum real estate. Any tips? Looking to buy in a beautiful but still sizable beachfront small town or city. Think Naples away from L.A.

I live in a quintessential Southern California beach town. Tell me what you're looking for exactly. I know a lot about the local real estate market.

OMG thank you SO much! Even just some areas or towns to visit for a feel would be helpful. FYI San Francisco, Oakland, and L.A. are places I've been too and they're too big for me.

Qualities/requirements:
- Lots of townhomes/rowhouses/condos/smaller SFHs
- Waterfront area nearby - canal/beach
- Extremely walkable area (no need for a car and/or minimal use of an uber)
- Groceries stores IN the community (horizontal mixed use district)
- Good mix of high quality restaurants and eateries
- Public walking gardens/parks/canals/boardwalks

Heavy preferences for:
- a diverse locale with a good mix of races (preferably not majority minority)
- healthy/crunchy population
- beautiful beach within 15 minutes driving distance
- population smaller than 500,000
- Major airport within 30 minutes

Budget is $1,500,000 for the townhouse (no more than 3 bedrooms) but you can see why I'm looking for a smaller community.

These are some of the types of homes I'd like (preferably in the downtown area of the community/town or right in the walkable area) and I was partial to Naples (LA except I don't get the feeling its truly 'separate' from LA)/Newport Beach. Are there any other small towns on the coast that mimic that look and feel?

Hi - Naples is in Long Beach, CA just on the outskirts of the Los Angeles city limits



Anyone with opinions on Long Beach here? It seems to have a lot of qualities I was looking for - healthy, named walkable, water views etc It even has its own airport. Would you characterize this area as a grungy, concrete jungle like LA? What about the city upkeep and homeless problems I've heard about in CA?
