Anyone live around there, or can tell me where to look for a decent place to live.

you going to work at juxt by any chance?
i sure hope you like urban sprawl! haha, but in all seriousness i would say that the nicest places to live would be on balboa (very expensive but really nice) or huntington beach (cheaper but more of a college atmosphere ie.bars,shops, resteraunts) laguna beach is also really nice but expensive.
i lived in costa mesa (right on the border of newport beach basically, and it was dirt cheap.

Urban sprawl is right. I'd stay in either HB close to the beach, parties and people. If you're not a party person and want to keep things quiet travel a little further inland to Irvine. Lots of really nice new apartment complexes and trees because of UCI. Welcom to SoCal.

irvine makes me vomit uncontrollably.

irvine is ok, starting to look way to suburb with scattered big business' everywhere.
Go towards huntington beach which is pretty nice, you can find some quiet places there too if you arent into the whole party stuff.
I work in and out of the OC but live in Long Beach so make sure you wave.

What type of lifestyle do you like?
Party/breach - stick closer to the coast. Party, drink, walk to the local bar.
Quiet/neat - Irvine (I lived there for 18 months and enjoyed it). I don't have a problem driving 1 minute to get groceries and a coffee with neighbors NOT waking me up at 3am and having to drive 15mins to the beach.

I live in Downtown Long Beach, which totally fuckin rules! Seriously, you should consider long beach. Its a really good mix of city and beach. I live 2 blocks from the sand and also about 20 really cool bars/restaurants etc within steps from my house.
Also, the commute to newport would be about 20 mins, but you get to take PCH and drive next to the ocean every morning, not a bad way to start the day.
Hey....Whats up anthony?? It's Beddoes...Let's wreck Long Beach sometime.

Oh btw, Irvine etc suck ass. Nothing but rich republican ass clowns.
Anything in OC other than Costa Mesa, parts of Huntington and parts of Newport are total shiite.
Only problem is, anywhere worth living is going to be really expensive. Another benefit to living in LBC, slightly cheaper.
You can find a nice one bedroom in LB for $1100 vs $2000 in nicer parts of OC.

if you're working at Juxt, try the Beach House Apartments, around the corner on Superior Ave.
close enough to work that you can hit the pool or gym during lunch. also central to everything else in the area.
soak up sun for the rest of us.

For sure man hit me up whenever you want to go mess up the town, around and freelancing, doing some dev work for mindflood. Thats about it man, what you been up to? where you been?

Downtown Long Beach in the part they're revitalizing with all of those lofts ROCK.
Outside of there, Long Beach is SCARRRRRRY.
I'd take ass clown republicans over getting jumped, stabed and murdered on my way to dinner anyday.

- smielke0
Yeah I'm used to the ass clown republicans (they aren't that bad) since I grew up here. But with a wife and baby the bad parts Scare me so I live up in the hills away from everything.

ah long beach isn't so bad...sure there are parts I don't go to, but anywhere from seal beach north to downtown below 7th are ok.
