Before you buy in Tehachapi (Lancaster, Palmdale: renting, homes, buying)

[SIZE=3]Before you buy in Tehachapi[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]If you’re considering Bear Valley Spings the private gated community just out side of the city of Tehachapi check with the county of Kern for any questions that you may have regarding property lines, easements and sq. footage. If you have horses make sure that the land you are researching is utilizable all year long. Winter snow melts can reduce the usable land considerably because of flooding. Do not rely on any realtor for accurate information on these issues. A tall tale the realtors use to advertise a property is “Horse facilities and Turn out pasture”. Most likely the property does not have these features but because the BVS Equestrian center does some realtors try to trick buyers with that blurb. Not all the residences are private family homes. State and/or County group homes are operating in the Bear Valley Springs community. Most residents do not know this until there is a problem. BVSA/ECC does not inform the residences of this type of operation. Beware. As of this writing I’m trying to get information on a halfway home for ex offenders on Bear Valley Road. Any information is greatly appreciated. [/SIZE]

We are renting in Bear Valley Springs after a looong search (you can read my posts here http://www.city-data.com/forum/calif...hey-say-3.html if you're curious) We were considering Lancaster or Palmdale, but fell in love with Bear Valley. My husband commutes to the air force base and if his job ends up long term we were thinking about buying here. I read your post and am a little bit confused because I don't see how a home for ex-cons could be operating here. The security is pretty tight and that was one of the reasons we moved here, but I am a bit concerned based on your statements and would like to hear more if anyone has more details. Thank you for your time...

We recently bought here, so I am interested in more info, too.

Hi alize! So you are happy in BVS? How long have you been here? I've been here about a month, and I still wish my husband hadn't taken the job at the base.
