Default Springville vs Three Rivers

What can you all tell me about Springville? I grew up going to a ranch in Three Rivers and I looooved it. Any thoughts on their comparisons ( or which is better) I would be looking there but I am a social worker in Corrections, so I am hoping to get a job at Mountain Home (is that the name? If anyone knows anything about that place please let me know. All I know is that it exists!) Here is a little about me I am a very liberal bi-sexual single mother and vegetarian. I am from LA an live in Hawaii now. I have never lived in snow but really want to. That said I am from LA and live in Hawaii what do I know about cold? Nothing...so it cant get too too cold. I want to raise my daughter in a beautiful place with a good community feel. I love Sequoia National Park, and which I could live there cuz I want to live in a forest. I love the rain and water, so we'd need a lake or river to swim in. I hate trafficI am young (26) and would like at least some people around my age. Are there any fast food places, or would we need to go to Porterville. Are there any apartments or do people rent houses there? I am not ready to buy yet. Any crime/drugs? How are the schools? How are the summers are they miserable? Are there lots of snakes?I think that covers most of it, but I may add more later. Thank you soooo much. Also, pix are always appreciated

I would think Springville is your best bet if you want to work at Mountain Home, Sprigville is a nice quiet town. I've been by Mountain Home a hundred times but I'm not sure what it is, I know the prisoners fight fires and such and I tried to search it but came up empty handed. Good luck

Springville is SMALL but widespread. In my opinion I would live there BEFORE Porterville. Besides, Pottyville is only a 15 minute drive.

Yes, there are rattlesnakes, scorpions, black-widows, mtn lions and other dangerous creatures out there. There's not much to do in Springville although the you're in the foothills and are REALLY close to the mountains. You are CLOSE to snow but probably won't see much of it unless you travel up the Mountain.

Summers are HOT......winters are foggy and 50's

Balch County Park is in the middle of Mountain Home State Forest, part of Sequoia National Forest above Springville. It's a wilderness area, so you aren't going to find anything but bears and campers up there. It is very beautiful though, been there several times, but remote.

Springville is extremely hot in the summer. Hope you like cowboys and rodeo's because you will find plenty there. Not sure about fast food places but there are several good places to eat.

There is another area we love to visit if you travel up Hwy 190 from Springville to Camp Nelson. Nice area. Great fishing in the Tule River. Lots of vacation rentals or stay at the Camp Nelson Lodge.

And further up the road is Ponderosa. Lot's of snow up there in the winter months. Ponderosa Lodge is about the only place to eat up there. In this area you will find the Golden Trout Wilderness. Dan Shew operates wilderness pack trains in this area and in Balch Park I believe. We once took a day trip by horseback to fish. Fabulous.

I also love the Three Rivers area...
