These 4 CA Suburbs Are The Best Places To Buy In The Next 5 Years

CALIFORNIA — Prospective California homeowners looking for a place to invest in the next five years would do well to consider four specific suburbs, according to GoBankingRates.

The personal finance website consulted with two real estate experts — Top Ranked Home Buyers CEO Kenneth Sesley and Trusted House Buyers CEO Brian Mollo — about the best places to buy. Their top choices? Folsom, Irvine, Temecula and Poway.

Folsom: This Sacramento suburb has great schools and parks as well as a crime rate below the national average at a much lower price than the Bay Area or Los Angeles, according to GoBankingRates. Folsom’s cost of living is lower than 308 of 449 cities in the state and the Sacramento area generally has steady home prices, the website reported.

Irvine: While the cost of living in Irvine is 54 percent above the national average and its typical house price of $1.58 million is 246 percent higher than the national average, the Orange County community has repeatedly been ranked among the safest cities in America, according to GoBankingRates.

Temecula: This Riverside County gem, which offers larger homes and lots at lower prices than Los Angeles or Orange County, also has wineries, beautiful landscapes and great schools, the website reported.

Poway: Poway provides a more affordable option in San Diego County and lacks city income tax, according to GoBankingRates, which noted the community has agriculatural roots and a great performing arts center.
