Things to Do in California

New owners of California mobile homes will never be short of places to explore. This is a state that has something for everyone. The lure of Los Angeles plays a big role in its appeal. Go behind the scenes on movie sets at Universal Studios Hollywood theme park, explore world-class museums in the form of Los Angeles County Museum of Art or The Getty and reenact scenes from Pretty Woman on Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills. A tour of the TCL Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, alongside one of the most famous stretches of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is forever popular. The theatre has been home to movie premieres since 1927. If a day at the beach is on the horizon, Santa Monica and Malibu take home the prize for the most picturesque in Los Angeles. 

A drive along the Pacific Coast Highway, which is home to some of the most scenic modular homes California has to buy, takes in everything from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to the surfer and Baja Mexican food paradise that is San Diego. Huntington Beach, also known as Surf City USA, is a must visit for surf lovers. 

You can really imagine yourself elsewhere at Disneyland Park, with roller coaster thrills, family fun and parades featuring favorite Disney Characters. It is as much of a day out for big kids as the little ones.

The type of modular home California suits so well is the prefab open plan kind which allows for the surroundings to be truly appreciated. So if you are based in the wine country with sweeping views of the valley landscape you can also make the most of incredible forest hikes or a more indulgent day at the local wineries in destinations such as Napa and Sonoma. 

From quiet vineyards surrounded by lush redwood forests along the Mendocino Coast, to the rolling hills of rugged Lake County, the North Coast of California makes for quite the backdrop to a winery tour, spa day or a long lunch. Imagine zipping home to one of the modular homes northern California has for sale after a day appreciating all the best of the wine country. Just ensure you aren’t the designated driver.

If you are unsure about buying a mobile home in California, enjoying one of these activities will remove any doubt.

History of California

History of California

 Welcome Sign San Bernardino County California

The first Spanish missionaries arrived in California in the 1700s, but California didn’t become a U.S. territory until 1847, as part of the treaty ending the Mexican-American War.  When a carpenter called James Marshall discovered gold at Sutter’s Mill in Coloma in 1848, settlers fled to the west coast in search of financial opportunity. California’s population rocketed from 14,000 to 250,000 in just four years and The California Gold Rush was born. The sudden rush of gold reinvigorated the American economy and in 1850 California became the 31st state. 

Modular homes in California play an integral role in the history of United States real estate solutions. According to the Modular Building Institute, in the 1800s, as the United States expanded westward, modular construction began to make a more prominent appearance. The non-profit trade institution explains that during the California Gold Rush, mining towns boomed, and as they flourished, a quick housing solution was needed. More than 500 preassembled homes were built in factories in New York and shipped across the country to California. California modular homes were a crucial part of the uprising of more flexible housing so mobile home manufacturers in California have long been in existence.

The pleasant climate is a big draw when browsing mobile homes for sale in California. Much of the state has a Mediterranean-like climate with warm, dry summers, and mild, wet winters. Modular homes for sale in Southern California will benefit from endless sunshine. On the coast, the average daily high temperature is upwards of 70°F but can soar to 80°F or more in the summer. The oceanfront mobile homes for sale California has on the market will come at a more premium price. The state is also known for its fog which lingers on the coast from  Monterey north, usually during summer months. However, it often burns off by midday and rolls in again at dusk. Farther inland, there are hot and dry summers with cool and wet winters which sometimes have brilliant blue days and temperatures cold enough to freeze puddles on the ground. That is about as cold as it gets in these parts. At higher altitudes, there is more of a four-season cycle with snow in the winter and a waterfall season in the spring when the snow melts.
