Hello Everybody,

I am considering a job on Vandenberg Air Force Base. I was stationed at Vandenberg 15 years ago, when I was much younger and single, but I'm wondering what the area is like today. Where are the best and worst communities to raise a family? Are there any good private schools in the area, if so what do they cost? Are there other significant costs I should consider? I have heard horror stories about California utility bills and taxes, but can't imagine they are too much higher than my current location, Washington, DC.

This isn't a job I have to take as I already have a good paying job out east, but I think it could be a good career move and positive lifestyle change for my family. I am kind of burnt out on my current job, and the family is open to a change in atmosphere.

I am willing to pay around $3000 (give or take) a month for a decent home within a 30-45 minute commute. Living in a nice community with good private schools nearby is more important than saving $500 on my monthly rent or living 10 minutes closer to work. At the same time, I am not opposed to living in a place like Vandenberg Village or Orcutt if they are comfortable places to live.

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated!

Jim
