Fantastic weather and good people all for a price - 6/7/2017
I grew up in Tustin. The major pro is it has a small town feel with access to many choices of shops and restaurants.
Don't let these negative Nancys fool you the weather is wonderful. It stays, and I am not joking, between 60 and 90 degrees almost all year. In June there is a thing called June Gloom which means that it is overcast all the time. Sounds yucky, but it keeps the temperature mild. It only really happens in June. Also there are the "Santa Ana Winds" which is a week or so of hot dry wind that is very powerful. It has never happened more than three times in a year since I have lived there, yeah it sucks but it is a break from the "cold" high 60s winter. It's not just Tustin, it almost all of Orange County that is affected by the winds.
There are three high schools in Tustin School District. Beckman, on the edge of Irvine, Foothill, near the hilly part of Tustin, and Tustin High School. Both Beckman and Tustin when I lived there (2014) were great

Several different clubs have organized rides in the area and welcome visitors and newcomers. Keep in mind that most rides are rolly or hilly, and the winds can be fairly strong as well as fickle. Don't overextend yourself when starting out with a tailwind. And if you start out with a headwind, don't assume you'll have a tailwind coming

The weather is perfect for those of us who don't mind two seasons a year - summer and spring. Not much of a fall because most of the trees are evergreen and certainly no winter. However, a short drive up to the local mountains November - February provides the winter feeling that many "imports"

Rustin in Tustin - 9/17/2007
I lived my entire life in Orange County, CA. There's very few places in the world in which you can be on the Ski Slopes in 1.5 hrs on a Saturday and on Sunday only drive 15 minutes to the beach to body surf some awesome waves.
I'm surrounded by great restaurants, theatres, night life, recreational activities, etc, etc. The only thing you need to maintain is money. But, there's plenty of industry here as
