Re: I would like to hear from some former west coast people, particually calif
We lived in Agoura Hills (Thousand Oaks area of Los Angeles) for 20 years. We are originally from Minnesota and bought a home in TV three years ago when I retired. We came here because of friends who had bought here. We moved from a Villa to a Premier home last summer and just sold our summer home in Minnesota to be here full time.
No question, it's hot and humid right now so we find its a good time to visit the kids in California and Michigan via our RV. That said, we really miss our neighborhood when we are gone with all of the social events, golfing, etc.
Although we prefer dry heat, we also enjoy trees, green grass and that sort of thing. We find the winters (November - May) to be much nicer than SoCal. Its warmer here with no humidity and surprisingly little rain. People who have lived in other retirement communities tell me that no place matches the activity levels that we have here.
Good luck with your decision!
