Review of Westminster Califor, Iowa


North OC is basically LA
Star Rating - 9/15/2009
Westminster is a very busy, albeit somewhatsafer area to live. It's nicely located not far from freeways or the beach, has a good mall and plenty of shopping options. Little Saigon is a fun place to take visitors. It's at the crossroads of three large cities (Santa Ana, Huntington Beach and Garden Grove) and that makes for some heavily trafficked roads and polluted air. It's not really a place to raise kids, unless you find a private school. The public schools here rate very poorly, unfortunately. Overall, a nice town. But don't expect too much quiet.

If you look at the stats for crime, its not bad. I can get on the freeway in 3 minutes, ride my bike 8 miles to the beach in less than 30 minutes and have done so as many times as every day and never been in a dangerous situation. I can ride my motorcycle to Crystal lake in the azuza mountains in an hour. Snowboard in 2 hours. Drive to lax in 45 minutes, John wayne in 30 minutes, and Long beach airport which is the best airport in 20 minutes. I agree its a bit souless but its safe and quiet. Live in Belmont hights for a year, can't compare. I used to live in Laguna Hills in the 80s, can not compare to westminster for ease of living. Not even close. Ride you bike to the beach from Laguna hills... I've done it many times. Even with the big bike lanes, not that safe when you enter Eltoro or Laguna canyon. I currently doa 35 mile loop from newport through irvine and down that canyon, its busy and a bit nuts....lol
