Review of Santa Clarita, California


Absolutely Awesome Place to Live!
Star Rating - 5/13/2008
I moved to Santa Clarita in 2000, and I couldn't believe that I could actually live where most people only dream of vacationing. Our temperatures range from about 40 on the chilliest nights to the high 90s, peaking in the triple digits a few days in the summer months.

Living in Santa Clarita is similar to living in Disneyworld. For the most part, everything is clean and well-maintained, there's a Starbucks (or two!) on every corner, and yet there are hidden, untamed canyons with wildlife (complete with mountain lions and rattlesnakes) within 15 minutes of most everywhere in Santa Clarita.

Santa Clarita is within one hour of the beaches and ski resorts, 40 minutes from the official Hollywood. (But filming takes place on the streets, in neighborhoods, and on hidden movie ranches here all the time.)

Ideally, you'd want to work and live in Santa Clarita, because traffic in the Los Angeles area is heavy. But for details on all of this, you can visit SantaClaritaGuide.com.

Santa Clarita was also rated in recent years as "Best Place to Live" by CNN Money Magazine, "Safest City in the Nation" according to FBI Statistics, and "One of America's Best Places to Live" by Relocate America.

Santa Clarita is not at all like Los Angeles...it's a true hometown in a large metro area.
