Vista, California Relocation Guide
|
Population: 89,857 Located in San Diego County
In the recent book, "50 Fabulous Places to Raise Your Family", Vista was again listed as one of the 50 best cities in the nation. This award-winning community is located just 7 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean in northern San Diego County. The population of 89,000 enjoys a wide range of year-round outdoor activities in a setting of gentle rolling hills and pleasant rural surroundings. Vista offers an absolute perfect, mild Mediterranean climate. This makes for perfect weather all year round with potential to grow almost anything your heart desires! Grapes are not the only things cultivated around here, there is much more to Southern California than vineyards, or even Los Angeles, which is not far from Vista. Vista is in the midst of extensively renovating the downtown area, and has pulled down old, unsightly buildings and rebuilding. A new city clock is in the center of the downtown area. The City envisions having a beautiful area where people can walk, mingle, eat and shop, all while enjoying the lovely climate, which is after all the main reason for living in Southern California! To the west, just a few minutes from the center of Vista lies 70 miles of Pacific Ocean coastline, which not only supports year-round outdoor recreation, such as surfing, boating, sailing and swimming, but also important scientific research at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The hardest choice here is what kind of housing you want! All of the sub-divisions here have comparable prices tags, with most 1,500 square foot homes selling for $400,000 and up, and apartments renting for $1,200. Vista is also close to Los Angeles, with Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, and plenty of other things to do and see there. This has made Vista is a sensible choice for those who don't mind commuting to the larger cities and want to come home to peace and quiet. Excellent educational opportunities are available in over 25 public/private schools and colleges in the nearby area. The City's new 1,200 acre business park is home to nearly 450 growing companies. Vista offers residents a unique environment in which to live - from its agricultural roots to all the amenities of a growing suburban city. |
