Southern California is like no other place in the entire U.S

Within a short drive, one can go through the desert, beautiful beaches and scenic mountains where activities abound. Snowboarding, body-boarding, boating, and hiking are all able to be done by those who call the area home, which is what makes Southern California one of the most desirable places to call home.

While houses along the coast of California can be very costly there are great affordable suburbs within Los Angeles county that offer all the amenities of the California lifestyle at a fraction of the price. One such community is the Antelope Valley California, which is located just an hour North of the Los Angeles area. The Antelope Valley’s largest cities are Palmdale California and Lancaster California, which together, are home to nearly 450,000 citizens. The Antelope Valley is far less pricey than it’s big city neighbor to the south (Los Angeles) with less smog, less traffic and a lower cost of living; while still maintaining a city-like environment. Antelope Valley businesses are plentiful and it’s generally easy to find anything you need locally without having to drive “down below” to L.A. Because the Antelope Valley is located in the Mojave desert it can get very hot and dry during the summer and temperature’s can be pretty unforeseeable at times. Temperature’s may rise up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit during summer and dip to just under freezing in the winter. Snow can fall at the Antelope Valley elevation as well, although it rarely does. The Antelope Valley is home to many commuters who drive to and from work each day along the 14 freeway and are happy to live in a commuter friendly community.
