Huntington Beach Reviews
Rating 4.08 out of 5 565 reviews
Huntington beach is a city that is actually quite large compared to those nearby, but it feels like a smaller town that it is. The sunny days and being right on the ocean with beautiful beaches provide its residents and visitors with a slower happier state of mind than other places. I do wish it had more unique dining places like in Costa Mesa, but overall I love Huntington Beach. Though, I may be biased because it is where I grew up!
The city of Huntington Beach is a classic beach community. With beautiful beaches, warm weather, and a family-friendly community, Huntington Beach is a desirable place to live. Although it is quite expensive, the numerous benefits will make up for the expense. With highly-reviewed public schools, new parks, and outdoor activities to partake in, any kid would love to grow up in Surf City!
The people sometimes are a bit rude but you can't beat the view and the beach life! There's tons of things to do here, like shopping, surfing, eating, and nightlife.
