Southern California has long served as the standard of a dream-like lifestyle. With gorgeous beaches, nearly perfect weather, and a wide variety of events and activities, it really is an ideal place to live. No wonder so many people are proud to call it home.

Of course, that popularity creates one inconvenient drawback: high housing prices.

The Orange County Register recently reported that the median price of a condo in Orange County was about $500,000, adding that “for 62 straight months, Southern California home prices have gone in one direction. Up.” Just five short years ago, home prices in Los Angeles County were 76 percent less than they are today.

By April, prices had risen an average of 6.3 percent over the last year. If the cost continues to rise at that rate, the median home price in Los Angeles County will be $800,000 by 2023. Considering that prices are indeed expected to rise for at least another two years, now is the time to buy.

But how can you do it when prices are at an all-time high? You’d have to be pretty lucky to find a new LA home in the low $400,000s.

We’ve got good news for you.

Those homes do exist, and they’re right here at Castella in Norwalk. This new residential community features an enclave of 21 townhomes with easy access to the 5 and 605 freeways. How can it get any better?
