Land for Sale in California

California, the 31st state admitted to the union in 1850, has perhaps the most diverse topography and terrain. With 840 miles of coastland, you can be sitting on the beach and within a few hours be in the mountains. It has fertile valleys rich for agriculture and stark desert terrain making California land for sale a great investment.

California's population of more than 38.5 million live in and around some of its largest cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Sacramento. The state has 12% of the country's population, yet has contributed 16% more to job growth in recent years, according to a Fortune Magazine article. California is the 5th largest economy in the world, and as the article title suggests, it now outranks the U.K.

Agriculture and beyond

Agriculture plays a huge role in the California economy. The Central Valley, located from Bakersfield up to Sacramento, is the number one dairy product producer in the world. Other commodities include almonds, walnuts, citrus fruit, stone fruit such as apricots, plums, and nectarines, as well as olives, pistachios, and prunes. Here, and along the Ventura County area of the coast, are the top strawberry producing areas in the United States.

Following agriculture, tourism, technology, education, and forestry round off the next top five economic influences. The University of California Los Angeles and Davis campuses are each one of the top six employers within the state. Number one is the 32nd Street Naval Station in San Diego, and in second is the UCLA Health System. Walt Disney Parks & Resorts and Disneyland, listed separately, round off the top six, according to Livability.

The state's tourism is diverse with the National Parks of Yosemite and Sequoia, to its major attractions of Disneyland, Hollywood and San Francisco's many sites.

Climate and topography

Much of the state has a Mediterranean climate with cool, mild winters and hot dry summers. Land for sale in California is cooler along the coast and in the mountains, and hotter in the valleys and deserts.
