Attention California peoples...
A buddy of mine and I have been strongly considering moving out west to California in a year or two. For the msot part, we have been looking at the Orange County area.
Two things: 1. We are taking a trip out in July to come out and take a look around at possible areas to live. Any suggestions as to specific places to look in the Orange County area? With the down payment I would be able to have, we would certainly be able to buy a place (within limitations). But places like Newport Coast are out of question. We would like to live in a nice area, but understanding we have limitations... 2. What would be some key places to hit in the area. This is a vacation even though we will be looking at places. What are the hot spots??? Muchas gracias... |

first places that came to mind for me were the mission viejo or aliso viejo area. its a little bit more south orange county. im not sure, but i think first team real estate is one of the more popular companies around here.

Ive always wanted to move out west. I stayed in VA for a good transition period for after 5 years of college. I like the DC area, but its not for me long-term. I dont have many ties here, so I am looking to go wherever. Orange County is one of the areas we have been seriously looking into. |

The O.C. does appeal to me on some level, but I'm not so sure that I'd actually enjoy living down there. I have a few familiy freinds and relatives that have lived there for a LONG time.
My dream home would be in SaMo/WstWd area.  |

Well, the trip this summer will tell us a lot. Its still ways away, but I would like to get an idea now before I start putting the money away for closing costs and all that... That means no more silly little mods for the E90  |

OC isnt that bad because your close to LA and San Diego. La is too much traffic and its wayyyyyy congested. San diego is beautiful, have you checked out SD? I think costa mesa, laguna nigel are nice areas.

I think we will come take a look at SD. Unfortunately, I dont think I want to work in the SD area. Obviosuly finding another job is the first priority. While it would not be hard for me to find the job, I do want to be picky as to where it is. I was picky in finding my current job, and it has made all the difference. Im not ruling SD out... Just not top on the list now... |
