When the topic of marriage, owning a home, having children, and other things are factored into a successful relationship, I find myself going into detail about the house of my dreams. I want beautiful hard-wood floors, I want a huge kitchen with plenty of counter space and stainless steel everything. Marble, large stair cases, huge master bedroom, big living rooms. The kind of things you’d see in San Diego Homes considering I’ve seen “The real housewives of Orange County” enough times to drool over the gorgeous homes they live in.

Southern California is known for luxury homes. The market is pretty strong in communities like San Diego, La Jolla, Coronado, San Clemente, Rancho Santa Fe, and Laguna Niguel. There is an increased number of million dollar homes because of the increased number of wealthy people looking to retire in a beautiful place, San Diego County and Orange County respectively. Tropical and moderate weather year round allows for a very healthy lifestyle with plenty to do as far as sports and other recreational activities.

I’m not one for ritzy areas, but based on what I’ve seen of Orange County, I have to say that I’d definitely love to stay there for a few days and feel it out. It’s a beautiful area and having sun like that all the time, with loads of beaches, you can’t help but want to be there.
