Summary of Hermosa Beach - 10/13/2007
My wife and I have lived in Hermosa for two and half years with our two daughters ages six and two. Here is a list of the pros and cons of Hermosa.
Pros:
Weather is nearly perfect year round (if you like the sun/70 degrees)
Schools are about as good as it gets for California
Families are on the rise
Most everything is within walking distance
Cons:
Lots of tourists, which means you must always keep an eye on your kids/important things
Very expensive housing/cost of living!!!
Most parents are older (40 years plus with new borns or pregnant)
Nearly everyone has a nanny b/c most moms can't handle raising own children
Meter/Permit parking almost everywhere
No yards or they are very very rare
Lots and lots of superficial people
Not a good place for dogs
Everyone is always busy and/or in a hurry, life goes by pretty fast here
