– Retiree (or planning retirement)
Owens Valley is a haven for retirees for a good many reasons:
- Very affordable property (by Southern California standards)
- Low cost of living (relative to the suburbs)
- Friendly and low-crime (people still leave keys in ignition)
- Abundant Outdoor Activities (e.g. pets, birdwatching, fishing, gardening, photography, rock hounding)
- Close enough to goods and services and health care
- Relaxed attitude (people love to chew the fat at the post office)
- Cost-effective for RVs (no smog requirement, RV storage structures permitted)
