Fullerton: Good food, good music but bad roads. - 7/1/2019
I have been living and working in Fullerton for almost 20 years now and have seen it change through the years, both for the better and worse.

Fullerton is a half college town and half professional services/business town. Fullerton is home to the oldest community college in the state and has a state university that is known for it's quality business school and champion baseball team.

The city has a vibrant downtown area (DTF) that has been the focus of revitalization in recent years. With many bars/pubs and a wide variety of restaurants to choose from, Fullerton really does well in catering to the individual or group wishing to have a "night out on the town". Being the home of Leo Fender's original workshop, Fullerton has embraced music into it's heritage and often provides several opportunities for musical artists to share their talents. Many bars have live music on the weekend (especially the Slidebar by the train station) and the city even hosts a Read More

Fullerton, CA - 9/27/2009
Fullerton is a very nice place to live. Of course, it is located in beautiful Southern California. The weather is great year-round. Although Fullerton is located in a metropolis, Los Angeles/Orange County, if you are involved with in the community with kids activities and such, it doesn't seem like such a large place. Fullerton is BIG on education, with Cal State University-Fullerton, Western State University of Law, Southern California School of Optometry, Fullerton College, and Pacific University. Additionally, Troy High School has a world reknown tech program. Many of the public schools are magnet schools specializing in gifted programs, pre-med, technology, drama/the arts, etc. Additionally, many of the elementary schools are "blue ribbon" schools.

Fullerton also has two museums: Fullerton Museum and Muchanthaler Cultural Center. There are all kinds of drama, arts, musical concerts, etc. that you can go to in our fair city.

What Fullerton is like... - 11/30/2008
Fullerton is a nice sized city with a ton of stuff nearby. Quiet neighborhoods, lots of shops and parks. I have lived in Fullerton for the past 5 years and I have never been robbed, bothered nor annoyed. People keep to themselves and for a city of this size, there are a lot of community activities. There are farmers markets, community classes and tons of different churches, a YMCA, a YWCA, a library, tons of groups, the Masons, Elks, and others. It's about as clean as any city in Southern California could expect to be. Disneyland is 15 minutes south, Los Angeles is 45 minutes North (with no traffic) and you also have Knotts Berry Farm nearby and multiple malls and beaches. It's a good city if you like urban/suburban living and are willing to pay a higher cost of living for it. If you like smaller towns and really friendly people, any city in Southern California is not for you. Fullerton is an extremely Republican city in a Democrat State. (i.e. California). Summers can be Read More

I have lived here all my life and it's great, but - 5/18/2007
I have a Master's degree and so does my husband. We both work and are still not able to afford a house here. Unfortunately we are looking to relocate. It is estimated that you must earn $214K a year to afford the median priced home here.

If that is not a factor for you, Fullerton is great! Five colleges, seven theater companies, great culture.

We don't like how Fullerton has become so over populated in the last 10 years, and we are burnt out of people who are moving in making the city more like Read More

Downtown Fullerton is Great - 8/16/2006
Downtown Fullerton offers a beautiful place for daytime shopping, or a varied and ecltic night life. Try Roman Cucina for excellent Italian food, eye candy waiters (mostly male), dark ambiance and some of the best martinis in Orange County. Kettle and Keg is a great low-key place for hookah and dancing. Rockin Taco is always packed with Orange County's hottest people for lively dueling pianos. The city of Fullerton offers a "Taste of Fullerton" night once or twice a year wear they close a five-block strip of Harbor down and businesses open for an evening meet-and-greet.

Fullerton is the only Orange County city I know of that feels more like a small town than a big city. It seems almost out of place compared to the surrounding area, but it's a good place to get lost Read More
