Don't move here, Welfare-dump capitol!! - 8/30/2011
my parents moved here from Los Angeles in 1978. This town was great in those days, quiet, low crime, no gangs, decent schools. NOT anymore this town has no jobs, bad schools, bad cops, horibble medical facilities. It is overrun with trash, welfare recipients, drug addicts, and backstabbers!!!!
I moved away for 12 years, came back and its alot worse, theres a 'Hood" now, murders, armed robberies, car theft, and drugs! lotsa drugs! Meth capitol of the desert(adelanto too)! This is the worst place i have ever lived! If you want a future in this world, leave california! run far away!!!! i wasted too much time here! :( bye rat nest

Apple Valley California definitely has a lot going for it these days! The cost of living is very affordable here and the weather is nice year round. You get a taste of the seasons here in the High Desert. I found a home Im going to buy in Apple Valley the other day on the apple valley california realtor website www.craigskibiski.com. He is a real estate guy in town and seems to know the area very well. I like the place we found on his website in Sunset Hills with a view overlooking Victorville and Hesperia homes. Hopefully more jobs and dining come to the area in the

I just read two negative issues about Apple Valley and want to set the record straight.
The weather in Apple Valley is almost perfect. A bit cold for two months and and bit warm for two months. However the rest of the year it's gourgeous.
Summer months are hot however it's a dry hear and does not seem to be that hot, and the evening cools down to the 60's. The mornings are gourgeous with clean crisp clean desert air and no wind.
Yes, it's freequently windy, specifically in the afternoon which really helps to cool things down in the summer.
The town is making great strides to ensure residents can shop to keep tax dollars in Apple Valley. Once the economy settles down there is NO doubt employement will be available with good paying jobs due to, ( as the say down the hill) space in now limited in the Los Angeles basin and there is only one place to grow and that is the High Desert.
Apple Valley is a semi rural community, and it's beautifully set up to

quality of life - 6/28/2009
If you like being inside all day, because of wind, sand or oppressive heat/cold, then... Apple Valley is the place for you. If you like to be limited on eateries, entertainment, crime free living, or shopping, then...Apple Valley is the place for you. If you enjoy a 1-2 hour freeway drive to anything interesting, then, this is place to put down roots. If you are caucasian and don't mind being the minority in the area, then, this is your place. If a good education is not important to you or your children, then, this is your kind of place. The list of objectionables goes on and on. I WISH I could have know about Sperling's BEFORE I moved here. We are moving somewhere nice

Jobs - 1/26/2009
After having lived in Apple Valley for 22 years, came here in 1987 I have learned the really hard way that the employment situation is completely hopeless. Unless you are a true professional, Doctor, R.N., Lawyer...etc you stand no chance of obtaining a good job locally because they just don't exist here. But if you are into working at fast food, wal-mart, k-mart, target and the like your in your element and stand a good chance of getting a job. Sadly I bought my house in 1997 and at the moment would have a hard time selling it, but just as soon as the housing market picks up even just a little, it's going on the market and I and my Son are out of here, I'm so tired of hearing how good paying jobs are coming to the desert, it's been 22 years and their still not here, if I continue to wait my child will starve to death. With the years of experience I have in this God forsaken place, my best advice to anyone considering a move to this desert is please don't, you don't know how sorry you
