Moving to California HELP

[willymo]

So my parents decided it'd be best for our future to head out West and make a living were skimboarding is takin more serious.
Basically my parents are sick of Fl and miss their old home so they're taking me with.
I want to know where you you people in California would recommend searching for houses to rent thats nice and near good skim.
Preferably in-between the Dana Point area down to San Diego.
ALL HELP WILL BE GREATLY appreciated and rep will be given.
HELP ME WITH THE NEXT CHAPTER OF MY LIFE PEOPLE!

I doubt your parents are going to take advice from people on a messageboard

[willymo]

Just trying to get ideas here.

anywhere near south laguna is sick. dana point is 10 minutes away so id look there too. my cousin lives in some pretty nice apartments about 8 minutes away from 10th street in dana point. i can look up the name of his place if you want?

[willymo]

Ya man thatd be awesome we need to find a place before the end of march so anything helps!

south huntington beach/fountain valley/costa mexico. close to Laguna and damn close to Balboa

[mauipike]

If you are looking for a house, they are in high demand right now so getting a single family residence is kinda hit and miss.

If you are looking for apartments, there are the City Lights in Aliso Viejo. It's about 15 minutes away from Laguna and it's in a pretty convenient city (Costco, Target, In-n-Out, Theaters, etc.)

You can also check realtor.com as well as craigslist.org

I stay in delaware where we take skimboarding serious... We don't even have any fun doing it.

[Aaron Peluso]

dana point and Laguna niguel are pretty clutch in terms of being nice, affordable and close to good skim.

all options mentioned here are reasonable. just depends on budget and job location etc...

[The Dtrick]

san diego sucks man......scratch that place.

[oatmeal]

You will be missed willy

Yeah, you definitely don't want San Diego. All the areas San Clemente on up to Newport are pretty nice. It really just depends on what you want and how much you're willing to pay for it.

[SANDSURFER007]

San Clemente to Huntington is close to surf & skim. Also check some off beach places. Tustin, Irvine,Costa Mesa the nicer the place the more $$$. Tustin & Irvine are good off beach options

[iamaaddkid]

Huntington is good because you can do some good surfing or body surfing down by the cliffs, not too far from Laguna, and nice and close to Seal for when it decides to go off. House for sale on my street!

[Toggaf]

Along the coast you could be in Newport/ Balboa, Carona Del Mar, Laguna, parts of Huntington (only within 5-10 minutes from the coast though), seal beach (gets good skim and there are nice houses on the beach and around that area, although the beach can be pretty loc'd out with body boarders and surfers)..

inland you could go Orange (20-30 minutes from newport give or take 10 mins), Irvine (quick drive to laguna), Tustin, like mentioned above, and Costa Mesa ( REALLY close to newport)..all mentioned are pretty nice areas with good houses, although home prices will definitely vary depending on city and what area of the city.

Of course there are a couple that I haven't mentioned, I just can't think of them at the moment. Take a map and plot out all the cities that seem fairly close to the beach and convince your parents to listen to you..Good luck on your move, you definitely won't be disappointed

edit: whoops, didn't read the part about the preferable location being between dana point and sd

[iamaaddkid]

costa mexico.

staba ana

[SJskim]

my cousin lives in the monarch coast apartments. theyre pretty nice, got a pool a gym, etc, and about 5 minutes from 10th and like 10 from aliso. hope that helps man

[ankle biter]

Damn willy all the gulf kids were jealous that you moved to the East coast, now you're going to california....whats next brazil?

[SolvenCarlos]

I moved from the gulf to san clemente, it's pretty sweet here. And you have le trestles for el surfing and various other sick breaks.

[Shawn Kenny]

costa mesa is pretty nice 5 minutes from newport and 10-15 to the wedge and like 20-30 to laguna

[Lord Quaz]
