Not sure if you're considering it or what your budget is, but have you considered renting a house? Rents have fallen significantly on both apts and homes, so we got a great deal on a 3BR home in HB. Lots of competition as people are trying to rent out their homes and people are also moving out of apts to do so. Just something you might consider...depending on your budget:)
We are renting a house right now and with 1 income we can't afford to pay rent anymore. We are considering moving into an apartment to save some $$. I do agree with rent fallen but sadly my landlord won't negociate dropping our rent, so it's another reason for us to move out of this place.
Re: Apartments Rec?
I should have mentioned around Westminster/ Garden Grove area.
