Central California
is one of the fastest-growing regions of the state, with cities such as
Bakersfield
adding residents at nearly twice the state-wide growth rate.
The attraction to
Central California
is affordable housing and people are heading for the
San Joaquin
Valley
where the median home price is $438,500 – about half the statewide figure.
Some are retirees who have opted for spacious new homes on a golf course.
Others are commuters who are willing to make the drive south to
Los Angeles
or west to the Bay Area in exchange for more square footage and a proper
backyard for the barbecue grill. Still others relocate to escape the
congestion and hassle of big-city living.
Favorable cost-of-living
conditions in the area allows the area’s residents to have more money in their
pockets because they’re not spending it all on housing and are able to have
more disposable income. Experts credit cheap land, low wages and favorable
business conditions to the attraction of defectors from elsewhere in the state.
Target, IKEA, Gap, Inc.
and others have built distribution facilities in the
San Joaquin
Valley
