Review of Victorville, California


I just moved here... whats not to love
Star Rating - 6/14/2011
I just moved her from Long beach and haven't had a single problem. the city dies at night its so quiet I get scared. I haven't seen a single drug dealer or a gang member and Being from Long Beach and living in a good neighborhood by the Beach I've still seen worse then what happens in Victorville. I see tons of job opening but I guess everyone's too good for retail jobs. The cost of living is so low that I can actually work retail and afford my own home. I was making 12 a hr in Long beach and my boy friend was making 14 a hr and we could barely afford gas, food, and clothes for our son let alone our 1800 mortgage for a 2 bed room house that literally was falling apart six months after we bought it. You should be happy. you obviously haven't been to long beach and you would think its a good city with its million dollar homes but its full of three types of gangs that love to kill each other off and any kids or elders that get in their way and police who will tell you that the area is really the Longos territory as if the concede to gang control. Victorville is quiet, family friendly, and cheap. ITS way better than all of LA county. To top that off you have the most amazing views and I cannot wait until I am all settled in so I can take my kids hiking in angeles national forest...

Hi Kelli, I just read your post about your recent move to Victorville and found it refreshing. I live in San Diego and my boyfriend of 3 years just got a job working for the prison in Adelanto. He wants me and my 16 year old daughter to move there with him. I have a job here while I finish my degree. I have 2 concerns about moving there, #1 trying to get a job and #2 the quality of the high schools in Victorville as compared to those in San Diego. The one my daughter goes to has gang and drug issues and has its share of riff raff, but she is getting good grades. Do you have any advice about my concerns that you could share with me? Thanks for your help and I hope you have "settled in" nicely!
