Quality of Life - 2/19/2008
I have lived on Orange County since 1973. The business climate has gone from sleepy to dynamic. It is an exciting place to live and work. As I get older I am exploring other place to live that are less expensive and congested.
The OC is a great place to start a career for both married and single

City of Anaheim, CA - 6/21/2007
Hi There!
I live in the city of Anaheim and it's definitely a tourist town. I live within minutes of several tourist attractions such as Knott's Berry Far, Soak City, and Disneyland. I'm conveniently close to the Anaheim Stadium and the ice hockey rink where the Angels and Ducks play. Love attending these events! The weather is always sunny and bright and the beach is just within 15 minutes away. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to come live in Southern California.

Quality of life? What's that? - 5/30/2007
I have lived in California all my life and while I've visited other states I never had the desire to leave until now. I have 2 small daughters and live in a very upscale neighborhood in Anaheim Hills. I'm leaving before they become self centered and materialistic like the rest of this county. I could afford to stay but the lifestyle I want to live will always cause me to have to hustle and work more than one job. There are so many better places where you can get more for your money. We are moving to Austin, TX and we have a condo on the beach in San Diego for the summers. We can retire out there and actually live a good life. I'm

Not the Happiest Place on Earth - 12/2/2006
Real estate in Anaheim is ridiculous, I don't know how the average person can ever manage to buy a 1st home, plus the cost of living here is outrageous. I retired in March and have come to the conclusion I along with a lot of others will have to be leaving to survive. Even before retiring I struggled to make ends meet. I was lucky enough to buy a condo (at the so-called righ time in 1999) otherwise I don't know what I would have done. A couple friends I have rent and the rent alone is terrible. This place is obviously geared for rich and famous! I'm out of

Not for the faint of home - 8/16/2006
The cost of living in Orange County is really terrible, and it's getting worse as the populations in every city is growing. There are very few vacant lots left to develop (and many of those that currently are have future plans already made), so the demand is spurning an incredible increase in price.
I bought a three-bedroom 1950s "fixer upper" in Fullerton (1,258 sq ft) with my now ex-husband for $480,000. Our mortgage was $2,780 a month. When he and I seperated about two years later, I went on a quest to find another place. One-bedroom apartments in most of North Orange County (Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana) are between $1,000-$1,300, an "affordable" alternative to beach and South OC cities that can range from $1,500-$1,900.
I ended up finding a two-bedroom detached duplex unit for $1,300 a month in the Colony area of Anaheim. This area is known today for Craftsman-style architecture of neighborhood homes. There are several beautiful parks, City Hall, the

Anaheim / OC - 6/27/2006
Ahhh. Anaheim Hills. A nice place to live if you bought a house here at least 8 years ago. Housing prices have tripled in that time. The area has older homes with no association fees and a glut of cracker boxes with gestapo-like association managers. The roar of the 91 fwy is a given and along with rail road traffic at all hours of the night it is not all that pleasant. If there is a parcel of land that has not been developed it is because the cliffs in the area are too unstable during the rains. Traffic is getting worse due to all the new housing. My kids are in college now and as soon as the last one graduates I am taking my equity and getting the heck out of
