Calipatria, CA Mobile Home for Sale

The small town of Calipatria sits amidst the farmland of California’s Imperial Valley, a small community that has grown thanks to the influence of the nearby state prison. “The prison building is 3 miles north, so the state employees who work there move into town,” says Realtor Adrienne Estrada with Tier 1 Realty, who grew up in Calipatria. “And it’s all generations – people who move out tend to move back after they get their degrees.

Home styles in Calipatria vary widely. The lots in town are populated with Craftsman bungalows, midcentury cottages and even traditional southwestern homes with Pueblo-inspired features. “Some of the ranch-style homes on the outskirts of town were custom-built by the farmers who live there,” Estrada says. “There has not been much, if any, new development in town, although there’s a lithium plant planned 10 to 15 miles outside of town, which is expected to generate new jobs, so I would expect that to change as plans move
