love it here

I have lived in Lake Havasu since 1989. After spending time in numerous places throughout our country, I wouldn't live anywhere but here. Yes, it is hot in the summer, but that's why they invented air conditioning. The vistas are awe inspiring and the wild life is spectacular. Though some have a difficult time supporting themselves, there are many educational opportunities available at the 2 year college level where job skills can be updated and aid in obtaining better paying jobs. I personally went from eaking out a minimum wage living to being able to build a brand new home just by getting a 2 year computer degree at our local Mohave Community College campus. Over the last couple of years, the only negative thing I can say about Lake Havasu, is that is becoming more and more "Californicated". Our neighbors to the west have been moving here and trying to change our rural lifestyle into the over regulated suburban gated community living they left behind. That being said, this is a beautiful, freindly community still holding on to its small town values. Those who say otherwise haven't been able to let their old lifestyles go.
