I would like to know if there is a place in california that would be a good place to start a family.?

Question

Im thininking somewhere near or around emmeryville. Or if i don't get the job i want anywhere in california. I need somewhere where I can pay for my debts, and care for my GF, and maybe a son/daughter. Good School, Violence levels, neighborhood activities, etc.

Answer 1

Near EMERYVILLE?! No. Unless you can afford to live in the Oakland Hills. Which you probly can't. Go east a ways toward Concord or Martinez. Much safer, costs a little bit less, but still expensive. If you must stay in California, try the middle of the state for safe and cheap. Somewhere in Bakersfield or Fresno. But I'd just get out of Cali (and I did).

Answer 2

No there isn't! lol I was born and raised in Calif. and would never go back! It's crazy there! Very expensive, and too many people! If you want a good place to raise a family I would suggest the mountains somewhere in a little mountain town.
I guess it just depends on what you're looking for. If you live in a real populated area, crowded places won't bother you, but I found it difficult to raise my daughter in Calif. or in any big city. I didn't want her to deal with it all I guess, and I moved her out to the country. Everything was smaller, churches, schools, towns, people knew us at the store, I loved it.

Answer 3

I think you will just get into more debt if you move here!! Houses are outrages, especially if you want to move to the bay! I would rather move to the hills... El Dorado or somewhere higher... Lincoln is building a ton of new housees too, or Rocklin is really nice!

But anywhere you go it seems traffic SUCKS!

Answer 4

San Pedro, CA...

It's near a beach... good schools, pleny of jobs... your about 30 minutes from LA city and Long Beach... LAX 40 minutes away..


Small Quiet town.

Answer 5

Nowhere. California has a VERY high cost of living.
