Northern baby!
I think a lot of people have the areas messed up..Bay Area is not Central California even if it looks like it on a map,and I've always considered Santa Cruz/Monterey NorCal even though a lot of people disagree but I do love the whole state.
This is what I consider Northern California personally..
I prefer living in Southern California. It's certainly a case-by-case basis as I find San Diego, OC very uninteresting. I like LA all the way up to Santa Barbara.
Northern California has Napa, SF, Pebble Beach (OK- its central but nearby), Lake Tahoe.
SoCal is more interesting to me than CenCal and NorCal.
