That sounds unnatural in English. The only real way to say the above sentence is the way they put it.
Additionally, one can omit “the state of”—there is enough disambiguation that the proper name itself refers to the U.S. state.
Though, for consistency with the original sentence, the answer that Duolingo provides is the best translation.

The translation 'The state of California is expensive but beautiful.' is rejected, but 'beautiful' and 'pretty' are synonyms even previously suggested by the dictionary hints, and were exchangeable in previous skills.
Pretty and beautiful should both be acceptable for this response. No reason to reject "beautiful" wgen it's given as a definition on Duolingo.
It is not possible to type the dagger alif in لٰكِنّ on a standard keyboard and the answer is not accepted without it. Please fix this.
Are there any other places in the world than los angeles, california, georgia etc ?
Why the translation "State of California is expensive but pretty" is not accepted.
Please change the beautiful thing! In other places beautiful and pretty are both accepted! And not by chance..
