Atascadero

Atascadero is a small town in the middle of no where in particular but central to everything. Its three hours to the Sierra Nevada Mountains, 3.5 hours to LA, 4 hours to San Francisco. Its surround by California wine country and close to gorgeous pacific coastline. Winters are mild and summers are hot but dry. I love the lingering heat in the evenings during family time time out on the front porch. I don't know if schools are particularly fabulous but its a safe place to raise a family with a small town feel. Its more of a bedroom community so not for one looking for night life. The major drawback of the entire California central coast area is that cost of living is high in comparison with area wages which makes it hard to move here.
