I didn’t see a response to my Northern OC question. Would Fullerton, Brea, Buena park be a longer commute than Valencia? The area seems nice on paper and it would be closer to family/friends in Socal and if hubby ever had to find another job he’d be closer to irvine, another employment center for him.[/quote]
problem with North OC is you are going to be dependent on the 5, which is notoriously bad. which means metrolink is the only way to go.
however, metrolink from buena park to union station is only 35 min.
so this might work out quite well for you.
inventory is extremely bare right now. if there’s the possibility of change in employment a couple years down the line, might be better off renting.
