Master planning at its finest

We've liked here for 4yrs now and it is one of the most convenient cities I've ever lived in. Our youngest finished their last 2 yrs of high school here and we were happy with the level of education. The school was on par with our previous CA school in Westlake. The master planning that went into this city is amazing. I literally feel like every daily convenience is within the 2.5 mil radius. All 5 major grocery chains, Target, Walmart Costco and all other shopping is within a 5 minute drive. There is a good mix of young families and empty nesters in this area so we have been able to make acquaintances easily. There isn't much of a night life but you don't move to AV for the scene, you move there for the scenery. So much outdoor activities, such as biking or hiking in the neighborhood or over the hill at the Laguna Wilderness park and other places within 10 minutes. I definately don't take that for granted, that we can hop in the car and get some mud on our shoes and then be off to running errands all the same morning. The beach is only a 10-15 minute drive and don't even need to take the freeway. I don't like how small most of the homes are but you will always give something up to get something else. I will gladly give up some side walk yard space for the cleanliness and convenience this place offers, it also saves me on my landscape and fuel bills.
