Mass exodus is right....the long time locals moving out and the commuters in. This place is the next Moreno Valley, but with allot more wind and trash. It has it's charms, plenty of sunshine and desert recreation, however has been inundated with transplants from L.A., O.C. and the rest of the I.E. looking to cash out their equity, buy more toys, escape crime, and move to a new, larger home with a 3 car garage. The problem is, it's bringing the same problems their seeking to escape.
The traffic east of I-15 is horrendous, and reminiscent of Temecula's runaway growth, gang influence is now present in the schools, and crime is a serious issue throughout the 4 surrounding cities. Oh, and check out the state standardized test scores for the local schools. If that won't turn you off to the area, then look at a water bill.
You can build your own oasis in Oak Hills, or Apple Valley for 400K +, but you're still surrounded by an ever encroaching sprawl.
If you love your dirt bike or quad; Stateline, L.V. and Laughlin on the weekends, as well strip malls, this is your place. If you’re seeking affordability, culture, or community, move somewhere else, I did.
