Stockton might not have the culture cache of other California cities, but it’s a great place to buy a home and put down roots. Centered right in the heart of the Central Valley, housing prices are significantly lower than other urban metro areas by almost a third of a city like San Francisco.
While being one of the agricultural centers of the state, it’s only about a 90-minute drive away from The Bay Area. But don’t think you need to drive that far east to find culture because Stockton is home to The Haggins Museum, the historic Bob Hope Theatre and the University Park World Peace Rose Garden.
