I've only been to southern Ca two times. I mostly visit san fran , paradise and san jose. But I figured Beverly Hills is rich people area.
Same here, I only go there if I have a project there. My better half is a native Californian, though, so she wants to build a place around there somewhere.
You can find good cheap lots around there. I saw a lot of little tiny homes tucked away there in little developments. Not too tiny, just big enough to live in with a few rooms, but they had little yards, mostly full of tropical plants and whatnot. They had driveways, too.
The first lot we bought out there was really long and kind of narrow. I think around 160ft by 30ft. We were gonna build upward, but changed out mind on it. It was in an erea there where they'd started clearing.
Need time to look and find that kind of stuff, though, months even.
I haven't really kept track of the thread, though, sounds like she already got a place anyway?
