If you’re a fan of the ocean, L.A. is definitely a viable destination. Grab a towel, sunscreen and bottled water (an area staple), and head out to any one of the city’s 33 public beaches. With more than 75 miles of coastline, you can be sure to find a patch of sand just for you!

Now is the perfect time for the savvy investor to snag an affordable Los Angeles property. Due to recent economic conditions and the foreclosure rate, once out-of range homes can now be had at more reasonable prices, including those in coastal communities with beach proximity.
