A California bungalow with an in-ground pool

Some flaunt classic Spanish Revival architecture, with stucco siding and red tile roofs, while others offer more traditional, midcentury modern characteristics. Regardless, homebuyers can expect properties to have spacious front lawns extending to sidewalks decorated with new-growth trees. Backyards share the same idea, some blossoming with gardens while others hold in-ground pools. Street parking is widely available, but most homes offer attached garages with short driveways. Altogether, prices hover between $1.2 million and nearly $2 million. Meanwhile, townhome communities like the Blossom Tree Association offer units for between $700,000 and $1 million. However, additional fees apply for amenities like landscaping and trash removal.
