Yup, it's all about The VIEW

California has so many remarkable terrains and vistas. With ocean-cliff-coastal homes undoubtedly being the most valuable, the runners up all have a common theme: A great view. Having an ocean view, especially one that allows inhabitants to enjoy the sunset as it dips into the pacific, adds considerable value to a home. Couple that concept with a rooftop deck entertaining area, and you've got yourself a true Southern California lifestyle.
