Do not consider Victorville to move too -
12/24/2006The costof living is high. The people are rude. Everyone of your neighbors willcompete with you about who has the best home, with all the home building going on,competition is at its high.Worst of all there are no over 10:00 dollar per hour paying jobs, seriously. The utility bills are extremely high and more than 80,000 people commute an hour away to get to work every day.

Cost of living too high and Victorville is not wor -
12/10/2006If anyone is contemplating moving to Victorville, I would suggest to go to the neighborhood you anticipate to live in and ask the community about Victiorville.I can save you the trip and tell you that you may find a three car garrage, five bedroom hoom but at 480,000 plus. Well if you dont own your own business or have no mortgage payment you are in for a big employment surprise.There are no good paying jobs, avg pay 8.00 per hour. The school test scores are verry low, there are more registered sexual offenders in the high desert which Victorville is in;than there is in any other county nationwide. Gangs from Los Angeles have infiltrated the high desert. The water bill is guaranteed to be among the highest water bills you will probably ever receive. People are rude, and your neighbor will more than likely be competing with you over who has the better house. Victorville is a front. Unless you live in it, you can actually see its true aspect.
The schools are overcrowded,about 32 kids per teacher. Traffic is like Los Angeles(heavy).
I moved my family here four years ago, I commute to work 90 minutes away along with an estimated 80,000 commuters per day. This information on how many commute out of the high desert you can thank Cal Trans for providing such info. Cost of living is 20% above the national average.
I can happily state that I am moving my family out by Jan 2007.
There is only one thing nice about living in Victorville, the weather(all four seasons).
I have been told by Victorville resident whom have been here fifteen twenty years ago that Victorville was then a very pleasant place to live and raise children, but that they never projected so much downfall. As a matter of fact the only Walmart in Victorville is among the top Walmarts with the highest theft and crime in its area nationwide.
You be the judge...
