I've been keeping an eye out for that area with no luck, I've heard Fullerton is decent, have not heard about the others.

Update for the place in my neighborhood, they are now not sure if they are going to rent or sell. If you move here is it like long term or short term or whatnot?

I thought about that and I don't want to be in LA County, I think Long Beach is. As for Westminster, I heard its not the greatest. Garden Grove is ok at the east and northeast. Have not heard anything on Hawaiian Gardens.

Thanks for the info.

Long term unless the area is really bad. If they are renting, could you ask them to send me some pics to jc-3@satx.rr.com?

thanks.

Yea the OC is a bit pricey, stay away from anything even remotely close to the beach, you can find some cheap stuff in tustin and garden grove but they may be in less than desireable neighborhoods. For an actual house Garden grove you can find one pretty cheap, Corona is a good alternative too.

I am keeping Corona in mind as an alternative, I hear there is an awesome indoor go-kart track in Corona. I've found a couple of houses in Corona but it sucks not to be there to look at and talk to the owners. I'll be there at the end of next week.

I should be there on 12/8, my wife has family in Corona, they are trying to get us to move there also. The only thing that sucks is that my work is in Irvine by the airport, so I'll have to figure out if the commute is worth it and affordable. I have a DD so I don't have to drive the Z everyday to work and save some gas.

I don't know if they are electric or gas, just saw them on the West Coast Customs show on TLC. Now that I think about it, I rather be near Huntington beach and get my car overhauled by Chip....(wishful thinking....)

pm sent.

I made it here. I'm in garden grove temporarily untill I find a place. I took me two damn days driving a slow *** u-haul that felt like the steering wheel was a jack hammer. few days before I drove a car up here and it took me 15 1/2 hrs.

I start work next week so I have a few days to try find a place and make a few meets.
