Living in Long Beach, a coveted Orange County enclave, may not be as idyllic as it sounds. Although you’re surrounded by white sand beaches and swaying palm trees, this California beach town has insanely high housing costs. With a median home cost of $400,000, buying a home in Long Beach is out of reach for most Americans. However, according to Go Banking Rates, it may be easier for renters in Long Beach, who need to earn $14k less than their mortgage-paying neighbors.
