Lancaster is a small yet friendly city to its citizens. This city has a hospital that is a trauma center which is accessible to people for emergency situations. The schools are great learning environments for growth and discipline for students. There are great variety of grocery stores, clothing stores, and fun things to do.

At the fair grounds, there are festivals and concerts that take place at affordable prices which is popular to cities nearby. The city has great emergency preparedness by its police, paramedics and more for safety.
Lancaster california is a great town, that is around an hour- hour and a half away from los angeles. It is a nice town with lots of diversity and communities. Not only do we have a community college (AVC) we also have a private university called UAV. There are many attractions sights to see for example the blvd, it has everything from shopping, eating a movie theatre, performing arts center and so much more. Lancaster is home to the incredibly rare and special joshua trees and musical road. The only downside is the crime rate, we were voted the 6th or 7th most dangerous city in california.
The city has a community college, library, poppy reserve, fairgrounds, and close to a water park. People here are so different and sometimes moody. While others are friendly and polite. I like the restaurants and fun things to do outside of school. Sports are fun and have games in the fall an spring. Weather is nice here, only raining in the winter and warm summers. Wear sunscreen and drive safely. I'm headstrong so I do what I want most of the time. Housing is sorta affordable where you look is important.
