The 6 Best Cities to Put Down Roots if You’re Single in California

When you’re single, you’ve got options - loads of them – and while choosing an exciting place to live may seem like a simple task, the sheer volume of options can be simply overwhelming. In a state like California, there are so many great locations to choose from. Here are a few of our favorites.

La Jolla

La Jolla is gorgeous. If you’ve never visited this coastline gem, you’re missing out. The location comes with a hefty price tag – and rightfully so. The city of La Jolla has a lot to offer for the singleton that has the paycheck to afford the lavish lifestyle of this beach centric town. The homes – gorgeous. The beaches – pristine. Enjoy a relaxing trip to the La Jolla Cove, enjoy the entertainment of a Mariachi Band, and revel in the convenience of San Diego being a hop, skip, and a jump away - you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the museum of contemporary art and exciting date night venues like escape rooms and themed experiences. If you’re not the nervous-type, enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience on a sea cave tour or at the La Jolla Underwater Park.

Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach is situated in the southwestern corner of Los Angeles right alongside the gorgeous California coastline. If you’re into surfing, you’ve found your new home. Known as one of the biggest surfing and watersports “hot spots”, Manhattan Beach will never disappoint when it comes to catching some waves. Not enough? Manhattan Beach has been coined the heart of the city. You’ll never have a difficult time finding something to do or a place to have an exquisite meal – although you may find it difficult to choose just one. As a city with a laundry list of celebrities who call it home, you never know – maybe you’ll catch whatever fame is lurking in the water, too! Proudly flaunting its status as the number one location to meet rich singles, you might even find your long-time love in this beautiful city.

Condos line the boardwalk with the most stunning ocean views, there is never a shortage of fun loving people, and shopping and nightlife is always plentiful. You absolutely will never be bored should you choose to call Venice Beach home. From street performers, to food trucks, to endless rounds of beach volleyball, this location could not be any more like what you would imagine a college town on the beach to be. That being said, Venice Beach is more likely to provide more mature singles as the rising housing market continues to push the limits of young singles budget buffers.
