Hi we are are being relocated to California after 10 years of living in Asia. The last time we were in the US we were based in the Mid-west, so we need some advice on the best places to settle down, doesn't look like we'll be moved again. My husband works for an Irvine company but we don't need to be close to Irvine - however we can't be too far from an airport as he has to travel internationally for his job. We have three kids verging on teens and are looking for an excellent school district. Our ideal city would be small, warm climate and coastal, with a vibrant and family-friendly downtown (farmers market, library, cafes, etc), safe and family-friendly with a strong outdoor culture (trails, pools, cycling, parks etc). We've been told to look at areas like Villa Park and Ladera Ranch but ithey seem expensive. We are thinking of renting to see if we like the area, and then buying once we decide for sure. Our rent budget would be $2500, and house buying budget would be 500K at a stretch. (we know CA is pricey). Any and all advice is welcomed!
