Planning to move to SoCal? Read on to know the pros and cons of living in Southern California. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I live in North County, San Diego. To put it simply, it’s amazing to live here. Lots and lots of cool parks. Is it overrated? Yeah, it is. But I’ve been here for a long time. Also, all of my family and friends are here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve visited other states, but I’m spoiled with our weather. Yes, we have no seasons, and I’m fine with that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t want the sticky heat of the East or the South, nor don’t care for the tornadoes of the Midwest or the awful snow storms we hear about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But the people, besides beaches and the weather, I love the most. We have millions of different kinds of people with different ethnicities, backgrounds, and financial statuses. And yet somehow, in some way, we get along. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Craving an exciting global experience? Explore retirement plans, the allure of a nomadic lifestyle, and more on the blog.

It is a great place to live for the weather, outdoor recreation, and cultural diversity of experiences and cuisines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Winters are only very cold if you are in the mountains, where we have snow and several ski resorts. Summers are in the 90s or 100s in the deserts unless you are on the coast or in the mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most places cool down at night to a pleasant temperature except the deserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Living in a city like Los Angeles is like any city anywhere except for the traffic, which is terrible, 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Small towns are nice, like small towns anywhere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Living at or near the beach is relaxing and pleasant but expensive! We have miles of coastline, some beaches, and some steep bluffs, but all are expensive to live near.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deserts are relatively empty in the way of towns. Palm Springs and that area, the Coachella Valley, have a lot of cities\u2014lots of expensive regions and many poor neighborhoods. The rest of the desert is empty of towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The mountains here cover a large part of Southern California, from the Mexican border in the South to the Oregon border. You’ll find National Forests in many areas, and SoCal is home to beautiful lakes like Big Bear, and Arrowhead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some gold has been found in the mountains but only a little. Not like further north in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, there are industrial areas and huge agricultural areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to be highly strategic and do a lot of research. If you have kids and are trying to figure out where to live<\/a>, you need to dive into the benefits and drawbacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Singles will thrive in certain parts of Southern California while families will somewhat struggle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n San Clemente is the appropriate illustration since it is the southernmost city in Orange County, California. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Talega and Forster Ranch are two viable options east along the 5 Freeway <\/strong>providing children with excellent educational opportunities, recreational facilities, and other amenities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Putting down roots in SoCal’s sunny region has many perks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You have nearly 300 days of sun, so there is no reason you can’t be outside, biking, gardening, swimming, going to the beach, surfing, boogie boarding, backpacking, walking, running, climbing or 100 other different activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cuisine in Southern California is unparalleled. Because of the intense rivalry, excellent dining establishments are not hard to come across. Fantastic eateries serve everything from authentic Mexican and Italian cuisine to vegan Indian and Thai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you need a pick-me-up or want a night on the town, it’s only around the corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The abundance of recreational activities is another reason we like the Southern California area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s wonderful to know you can take a break from your hectic week and relax with a drink and a meal on a patio without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
