Town in California
Current Resident: It's an incredible little valley town in between the White Mountains and Eastern Sierras... So the views are BEYOND incredible! We have access to some of the greatest mountains in the United States, including Mt. Whitney. The town itself is small but clean and affordable. The only thing lacking is a public pool for hot summer days!... Read 85 reviews

Current Resident: I think it's a very nice place to live. A few schools, houses with plenty of room and good for an established family. The only downside being that the neighborhood is increasing and condos are being put in. Part of Rosedale's appeal is that it's small and not quite as busy as the rest of the town, but now there's more traffic, more car accidents, and more homeless shifting to this part of Bakersfield....

Senior: This school has a great potential to literally make leaders for the future. It is a very new school making it a little harder to get on track. The school is starting to work out its kinks but as soon as the school sorts them out, the school could become one oft the best rated schools in the country. Right now it is getting itself off the ground regarding to sports. We do not have the best tools because of how funded we are. But we make due with what we have. The school activities like student government and peer mediation are a great way to stay involved with the school. The school has lock ins and different sorts of fun school activities that are offered to the students.... Read 21 reviews

Current Resident: Out of the cities in the Antelope Valley Rosamond and Tehachapi are the best places to live. There is less crime in both of these towns, ample growth potential in Rosamond and the people are mostly friendly. On the west side of the train tracks is the better side to live on, there is less marijuana smell. If you like that smell then you will love the east side as there are 20 and growing pot shops in this town all located in that area. Personally I stay away from them as much as I can. There are more business coming to Rosamond which allows for more jobs available to people. The community gets together and tries to clean up our town by spending a day or two picking up trash that has blown into our town. Please care about one another here, they might not know your name but if you have an issue and it's clear you need help everyone seems to pitch in one way or another to help.... Read 52 reviews

Current Resident: Taft is a wonderful small town that is very safe. There is rarely anything bad happening and everyone knows each other. If you love small towns, Taft is the perfect place for you. We only have one high school and one middle school, so all the students grow up together. Usually, everybody's families all live here, so you never have to worry about traveling far. We are 45 minutes away from Bakersfield, 3 hours away from Disneyland, and 5 hours away from San Francisco. We are close to everything, so it makes traveling a breeze. There are many family owned businesses and we are the local oil field town. I love living in Taft because I love the small community, the people, and being close to all my family. All in all, if you're looking for a small community to raise a family in, Taft is the perfect place for you.... Read 14 reviews

Current Resident: Born and raised here, would not have it any other way. Us locals as the big city outsiders call us all stand by one another. They would give the shirt off their back for you. We get it, they don’t. Everything a small town should be. I hear it all the time from people that are new here that there is not a lot to do. That’s the way it should be, good fellowship with friends and family. What else do you need. Love it would not trade it for anything. If your a long time local resident you know what I mean.

Current Resident: I moved into the Golden Hills/South Park area of downtown San Diego in August of 2016. From day one I have felt safe walking the sidewalks to and from the local markets, the post office and restaurants all the while admiring the old, eclectic homes with wrap around porches. It is a quite convenient place to live, with access to the 5 and 94 within a 2 minute drive from my apartment and bike lanes for local errands. Golden Hills has a dog park and is flush with dog-friendly vendors who don't mind if your pet joins you as you patronize the various storefronts. There are even 3 gyms within less than a mile! This place is a diamond in the rough and my only complaint would be the amount of potholes near the entrances to the freeway ramps. Other than that, Golden Hills is a hidden gem!... Read 23 reviews

Current Resident: California is a small town, with a population of about 13,000. The town is small which allows people to create friendships and a community of people that they can trust to be around. Though the town lacks grocery stores, nightlife, and things for people to do, the friendships that you make out here overpowers that. The town has four schools that create a safe environment for kids to learn and become the new smart and well-educated new generation. The town offers many different food places. The diversity within the different restaurants allows for people to find food that makes them feel like they are just at home with how small the community is. There are new different houses that have been built, allowing for more people to come in and create an even bigger community.... Read 59 reviews

Niche User: I love this town that I was born and raised in. But on another scale I wish Taft was bigger so we had more to do in the small town. We are finally getting a new hotel, "Best Western" and soon to come more places to eat. Taft is not far for others places to go to, like the beach which is 1 1/2 to 2 hours away, and there's the mountains which is less or at the most about an hour away (depending on which way u go). Sometimes I wish Taft could get more snow in the winter! Love the winter and holiday time, especially being with family and friends. So other than that, Taft is a good places to raise families and meet new people and make new friends.... Read 6 reviews

Senior: American Heritage (Broward Campus) undeniably outperforms a vast majority of high schools in Florida in a variety of categories, such as Club/Activity opportunities, diversity, safety, and college readiness. Whether this be referenced in terms of the hundreds of student services, variance of student demographics, security reinforcements, and semesterly guidance involvement, the k-12 atmosphere has always boasted a comfortable and direct learning environment. I would only encourage consideration/improvement on staff morals, as many individual courses have become notoriously difficult and constructed by teachers with unnecessarily demanding curriculum. Food (and tuition alone) are also quite expensive, although there are cheaper options such as snack bars and pop-up bake sales. I have not experienced bullying, harassment, nor even the slightest concern of my safety while attending and have had an overall great experience!... Read 692 reviews
