5. Oakland to Modesto

Oakland is one of the largest cities in California and also one of the most gorgeous ones. The perfect combination of huge trees, palm trees, water, and skyscrapers will take your breath away. I’m pretty sure about that.

If living in the city of Oakland is the dream for you, don’t forget that it comes with a big cost, which means almost $1 million for a home and no less than $118,000 for your yearly expenses.

A more affordable option for a fantastic retirement in California is Modesto. This city will allow you to purchase your dream home for no more than $451,000, which is less than half of Oakland, and you’ll pay around $77,000 per year for your expenses.
