I grew up in Fullerton, and I really like the diversity here. It’s a great community, and the commute is great between schools, hospitals, work etc. Everything is walking distance which is amazing! One thing I would like to see change is affordability in utilities and rent for low income households. In Fullerton there are a lot of low income families, and it’s a struggle to get by with how high rent and utilities are. It would be great if they made the community more affordable and accessible for those who can barley afford the living standards we are in today.
What I love about Fullerton is its diverse array of activities in such a small area. Name almost any activity (aside from skiing unfortunately), and there is likely a place for you within an hour radius of Fullerton. Additionally, the diverse food options in Fullerton are one of the biggest pluses for me, as there are authentic restaurants ranging from Cuban too Indian to classic comfort food within minutes of my home. Fullerton is also well-kept and is low on crime, however I wish the streets were kept in better condition, as some roads have large cracks and can be noisy. However, the new roads are being made with recycled tires to reduce noise pollution!
Fullerton is a place where a lot of Korean live. It is a very safe place. Even if you leave your laptop on your table for a few minutes, no one takes them!
There are lots of stores including target, costco, starbucks... There are lots of asian supermarkets if anyone is interested!
Public schools are simply amazing. There are lots of private schools as well, thus many people are willing to live in this place.
