Cheap Land Within 90 Minutes Of L.A.? 4 Dome Home (Los Angeles: work, mobile home)

[gottajam]

Is there anywhere left in existence, within 90 minutes of L.A., where I can build a dome home (or buy a pre-existing free standing home) under $99k??? Wanting at least one acre. If there is a house on the land already I know it would cost more.

If not then where is the closest location for this kind of deal? I'm leaving
the high desert of NM ( i just have to get out ) and am praying I can easily afford to at least get into a place with money from the sale of my current home.

I realized I may be laughed out of the forums for asking this but really, as long as the place is clean and safe and has reasonable access to L.A., time wise, I'll keep an open mind. Even on the price. Trees would be nice.

There are many places in the 90-120 minute range.. They will be in the desert. Places like Antelope Valley and High Desert. If there's trees-there will be probably one and it will be fake(planted). ..lol

Ive seen land 60-90 min from LA. Youll have to build a house though but perhaps some neighboors allow mobile homes, that route would be cheap. Lots of people commute all the way to LA from there as they cant afford LA. Not all lots look to be desert to me, some have lots of pretty trees

Thanks Need_affordable_home & newportbeachsmostwanted~

I'm just going to check the affordable land deals site and Need_affordable_home (or anyone), what are some of those towns or areas that have trees?

I'm a little more hopeful now...


In Gratitude,

You are most welcome! Try searching an hour east of LA, I saw some deals in that area. It looked nice in the pictures. I dont know whats the requirements, maybe you need to install a septic tank or something?

High Desert:Victorville, Apple Valley, Lucerne Valley. North-Near Bakersfield, Possibly Lancaster or Palmdale, Tehachapi. I'm sorry guy, you'll have a very difficult time finding one acre in Los Angeles County for under 99K. But, fortunately for you if you're 90 minutes away, you could find a spot. This is 90 minutes without traffic. It would have been better if this question was asked ten years ago, because you would have had more opportunities in Riverside and San Bernardino County, but homes have skyrocketed. Go to NewportBeach'sWebsite though, he's a reliable source, and check out my cities above. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!

Alas! I am a grrrlllll. But that's okay, lol! I guess I tend to pick "manly" handles 'cuz it has happened before. Must! work on that

I thought Bakersfield was 2 hours or more away from L.A. In any case, I will look into these towns. And see which places seem the most "homey." This helps a lot.

Thanks again

Your welcome, Ms.! Sorry bout that! You are a very ambitious female to want to build a home. You can to Downtown L.A. from Bakersfield probably in an hour and thirty minutes, if you're going 70-75, with no traffic. Where do you currently live?!

[Need_affordable_home]

Hello, you can still get a vacent lot in San Bernardino County for well under $100k, if I remember theres a good choice of affordable lots there. Its an hour east of LA

lol! That's quite alright!

Well, it's a different world in the southwest high desert. Not most, but many women out this way build homes, etc. I even ran into a woman here I used to know in Seattle (!) who built her own house and teaches welding and welding art. But me? No! I'm not going to do the 'heavy lifting' myself but am just starting to research who builds dome homes and for how much. Really, it's my first choice for a next home. Many of the manufacturers of the shells will put the units together but the are not offering to finish the interior. So more to do on that. Found some good over all resources, though.

Currently? I'm in northern NM. If you want to read a synopsis of my experience (and wisdom gained!) here's a post:
