Best area for single RN stationed at Travis AFB?
Hello everyone, I recently found out that my orders have been changed to Travis AFB. I am an east coast girl and know nothing about California. I would really appreciate some advice on which area would be best for a 29 year old single woman like myself. I have no children, so I don't care about the school system. I just want to be in an area that has a good presence of singles like myself, not a bunch of married couples with children. I don't want to have to drive anymore than 30 minutes to get to work. I would like an area that has some diversity and I can pay upwards of $1400 a month for rent. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I appreciate any advice that you offer.

Travis AFB is in Fairfield. The suggestion was a joke. There are no legitimate cities near Fairfield as you are half way between San Francisco and Sacramento. |

If you don't actually want to live in Fairfield, Davis would be a great choice..it's a nice college town with a pretty diverse and educated population..far more to do. Benicia is a cute town on the waterfront.. nice downtown area.. closer to San Francisco/Berkeley. Also, a little farther out would be Walnut Creek (this might be too far or crazy during commute times though, but would definitely suit your needs best). |

So whats wrong with Fairfield and Vacaville..Both area's have nice places to live..The commute is horrible to Concord or Sacramento..
We lived area the area for a long time...You don't want Napa the commute is awful too.
I think you'll enjoy the area once you get settled and learn the lay of the land.
Happy travels.

Thats a good question mamh. What is wrong with fairfield, are there no nice areas at all? I really don't want to commute more than 30 minutes so I'm hoping I can find someplace within that commute time. |
