SperlingViews - Yorba_Linda, California

If you like mild weather, Yorba Linda, CA is the place to live. We're close enough to the coast that we're able to experience those refreshing onshore breezes without the gloomy fog that comes with living at the beach. Yet we aren't so far inland that we have to put up with the extreme summer heat and the smog of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. In short: the best of both worlds! [read more...]

Overall the city is nice, however with the ever increasing amount of vehicle traffic as well as new homes being built, a once quaint community is evolving into just another suburb.[read more...]

I am a Literacy Coach who adviced her adult children to move to Yorba Linda because of the excellent educational system Yorba Linda has to offer without the cost of paying for private schools. Since my children are here, I also moved to Yorba Linda across the street from the elementary school that 8 of my 10 grandchildren attended(Bryant Ranch). In the pass, more than one of my beautiful grandchildren scored Far Below Basic on their CST's, but by the time they were in high school,they reached Proficient, and the grandchildren who have been in the Yorba Linda school system since kindergarten have easily scored Advanced. Teachers here can teach! I should know, and with all my heart,I am truly thankful! Sincerely, Celia Lopez [read more...]

I was raised in Yorba Linda, and must say that it is the most family-friendly city in Southern California. There is very little crime, clean streets, beautiful homes, and excellent schools. The only planned expansion in the near future that I can see is the construction of several homes in the Black Gold Golf Course area, which will only add to the community (these are $1,000,000+, absolutely gorgeous homes). The people are generally friendly, and it is one of very few cities in the region that has yet to be invaded with illegal immigrants (allowing for the high quality education). The only drawbacks to Yorba Linda are the lack of recreational activities and the cost of real estate having an effect on the children raised in Yorba Linda (it is unlikely that recent college grads will be able to move back to Orange County due to the high cost of housing). Otherwise, it is an excellent place to live and raise a family.[read more...]

Yorba Linda is a very nice place to live with lots to do, but only if you are rich.[read more...]

The average price of a house in Yorba Linda exceeds $750,000. This fact makes it impossible for my adult children to be able to afford to purchase a home in Southern California at this time.[read more...]

Yorba Linda is a great place to live....if you make 75,000 a year. Beautiful weather, beaches, etc. but the cost of living is absurd.[read more...]
