Palmdale and Lancaster are basically sister cities. The boundaries are blurry and the temperature/wind are the same. Really the only difference is Palmdale has the mall and Lancaster has the minor league baseball team. Either way heres the low down.
Eastside of either town is considered "the bad part of town" westside is considered the "good side of town".
Reality check; The eastside has older homes/apartments the westside has newer tract homes. Gas is expensive, Taxes are high, Sheriffs are worse than police, Hot in summer (110) and cold in winter (9 degrees). Windy most of the time up to 60mph sometimes, not much really happens here so if the sheriffs are called out, THEY ALL SHOW UP! Only an hour away from Downtown LA, not much to do most the time (too hot cold or windy) Above average schools for elementary and middle schools. High schools here i'm told suck.
