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.

Participantwe fully anticipate this job to be long term and to offer a lot of upside potential for my husband. now having said that we do like to plan for a worst case senerio so that is why I mentioned irvine having more jobs for him.

I think you’ll be very happy with Fullerton. very nice neighborhood and school is top rate. Western part of the city would go to Sunny Hills High, and it would be just a few minutes away from the Buena Park Metrolink station. assuming 5 min to the station, 35 min on the metrolink and 10 min to office, that’s not too bad.

ParticipantSomeone mentioned Simi Valley. Next door, and with a Metrolink/Amtrak stop is Moorpark. There are nice, gated and ungated communities in both, where you can buy newer (under 10 years old), larger (over 2200 sf) houses for well under $700K, even under $600K. The schools are highly rated, and the areas are fairly family friendly.
The only thing I don’t like about Simi and Moorpark is the heat. But I don’t think they are any hotter than Woodland Hills. I prefer Thousand Oaks, closer to the 101 freeway, a lot cooler, and just south of Simi/Moorpark, but the commuting options from there are really bad.
