With a population of just 37,287, Martinez is a sleepy Californian town that trades vibrant nightlife for a heavy tax burden. The city's history as an oil refining hub has left it with an industrial feel, and the Mediterranean climate means sweltering summers. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with the city overlooked when BART was extended. But Martinez does offer scenic waterfront views and a historic downtown for those drawn to a quieter pace of life.
