What are the nicest cities to live in around Downey, Ca?
I was born & raised in Southern Ca. & decided to move to Northern Ca. (San Ramon, East Bay area). My Fiance (Colorado native) & I are moving back to So. Cal. due to a huge job opportunity. The office is in Downey & I know for a fact that it is not the place for us.
The ideal for us would be to find a city/neighborhood that is more lush & green, out of the way. Commuting maybe 45 minutes to have that far far away feel would be wonderful.
I’ve never been a fan of living in huge cities…pollution, traffic, crime & the fast pace of things just don’t flow well with us. After living in Northern Califonia I fell in love with the fresh air, lots of trees, laid back people, small local shops, arts festivals, fairs, farmers markets & ability to go camping within about a 3 hour beautiful drive. We also love the coast so that’s an option as well.
Any hidden gems out there??
Oh boy…
Downey isn’t so bad, and you had better check out the traffic before you write it off. Then radiate out by distance and your budget. Belmont Shore in Long Beach or any of the upscale beach towns. Pasadena is hot, literally and figuratively, and I (who live there) love it, but it is a long drive.
How about the back canyons of Orange County? Or old Fullerton? South Pasadena?
Just remember home is where the heart is…
