Excellent Place Work-Wise for Aviation Enthusiasts -
10/18/2015Lived here for the past 13 years working for the government. Excellent area job-wise for Engineers and Aviation enthusiasts since this is an area rich in Flight test development and history. 30 miles from the Air Force Base, close to local amenities with downtown activities. Lots of things to do on what is known as The Blvd. I've seen the area grow over the years and it has greatly improved with plenty of places to shop and dine and do things with the kids.
Downside is that the weather here is extreme. It can be hot one day, cold the next. It can rain one day and be sunny the next. The Summers are extremely hot and harsh. The sun is very unforgiving. When it rains here the streets are easily flooded because the type of dirt here doesn't handle water well. We've had our share of cold winters; snow and rain (albeit it's rare). Not the best place to live if you're looking to stay cool or love the city life since places close early here.
Good news is that your 2 hours from major cities like Los Angeles and 3 hours away from Las Vegas and San Diego so plenty of places to go if you like traveling.
I'm sick of the heat here and ready to move elsewhere. Need a change.
