Review of Yorba Linda, California


It’s better than Stanton
Star Rating - 8/8/2019
I lived in Yorba Linda for 15+ years. I saw this city change from a peaceful countryesque town to a raving wantobe city. The population grew over 30,000 people in 15 years and they are attempting to build even more in a canyon ravaged by fire 10 years ago. The infrastructure is terrible at best and it can take up to 15 minutes to drive three miles. The city government is run by the building contractors through their children, spouses, and campaign contributions.
Do not think about moving here if you own a horse, the city has been promising a stable for 25 years while the contractors promise those who buy their houses there will never be a stable.
On the brighter side, the schools are better than most, although cheating is an everyday occurrence on all four of the high school campuses.
So if a 60x100 lot filled with a 4000 sq. ft. house is your idea of heaven, then this is the place for you. Good luck.

I was born in Yorba Linda. and 50+ years later i am back. Note all places have growing pains and congestion. but for me after i wait 3-4 minutes to get off of the freeway it is fine, and i do not feel crowded. my house is on 9400 sft. and is only 2700sf, but i have more than what i need here. my only gripe it the Trains that honk or are left running next to peoples homes. That is a crime allowed by the feds. Maybe Vikki is just trying to scare away new people from moving here. Good Luck to her.
