Overview of California Independent Living

The sprawling coastal state of California has long been a popular destination for both tourists and permanent residents who head west to enjoy the warm sunny climate, the bustling urban centers and tremendous array of social, cultural and recreational opportunities. As the most populous state in the country, there are numerous California independent living communities located in major centers such as San Francisco, Long Beach and San Jose, as well as smaller inland areas like Palm Springs and Lake Tahoe. In California, you can golf in the shadow of the snow-capped High Sierra Mountains, sample award-winning wines in the Napa Valley and bump elbows with movie stars in Hollywood.

The average cost of independent living in California is $2,814 per month. This is higher than the national average which is $1,729 per month.
