Hi,
I am a regular on other boards, but my DH is looking at a position in Irvine, CA. I have never been there, only tourist LA a few times, and Long Beach, where my uncle used to live. Can you ladies give me a synapses of the people and lifestyle there? I have 2 little kids, and I know the schools are good, but beyond that, I am clueless. The Real Housewives of the OC is kind of anti-me. If he gets the position, we would just go out and look at places over a few days, so anything you can provide would be helpful. I currently like the walkabilty of my urban neighborhood, and am active in my open minded community, if that helps.
Re: Irvine, CA anyone? Or know about it?
Try posting on the OC board. (Though that board isn't too busy either.)
Don't let TV shows influence your option on Southern California, there are lots of normal families and communities in the area. It is a great place to live if you can afford it.
