Review of Apple Valley, California


life in Apple Valley
Star Rating - 8/18/2012
I live in rural Apple Valley. Dirt road and 2.5 acre lots. The weather can be extreme here. Hot and windy in the summer and freezing at times in the winter. We couldn't live anywhere else in the county affordably and have horse property etc...Further in town there are many problems with crime and unemployment at an all time high. I just moved my young sons to flagstaff, az where they found work immediately.
Also, due to the large numbers of poorly educated people the local community college fills its schedule with remedial classes. My youngest son wasted two years there never getting a full schedule of academic classes.
My husband and myself are professionals so work is not a problem for us but most people either commute or are unemployed. I do not recommend this area to anyone!!
We are out of here as soon as possible most likely to Idaho. This community is overrun with illegals and gangs. We live out in the country and so don't experience the gang violence but it is prevalent here in the high desert.
Don't move here unless you have to!!!!!!!
