Try investigating California City, as of 8/1/2007 you can still get a new 3 bedroom, 2 bath and a 2 car garage for $170k and for a little more you can live in a gated community close to a golf course. High Desert Legends is a new retirement community now under-construction near the Tierra Del Sol PGA Championship Golf Course and the new Ellison Shopping Center in California City. This affordable adult gated community in California City, California features ARW Homes. ARW Homes is a new home builder and has designed a master planned active adult retirement community in California City. This project is aimed at adults 55 and over, looking to leave the Los Angeles County area in search of reasonable priced living in an attractive small town atmosphere. These Garden Homes will average between 1,318 sq. ft. and 1,539 sq. ft. and will have oversized 2 car garages for either that 3rd car or golf cart.
