California has significant 55+ inventory, concentrated in the Inland Empire and the Palm Springs-Coachella Valley corridor. Sun City Palm Desert, multiple Trilogy communities, and the Sacramento-Roseville Del Webb developments offer resort-style living — though at California price points and with California taxes. Buyers coming from out of state need to understand Prop 13 and how it affects long-term property tax planning.

California Retirement Tax Snapshot
California taxes all retirement income including Social Security for higher earners. State income tax tops at 13.3%. The upside: Prop 13 caps property tax increases at 2% per year from purchase price, so long-term owners pay far less than new buyers in the same neighborhood.
