Alpine NJ is currently the second most expensive market in the US (very exclusive). I have visited the area myself,and have found NJ in general to be very beautiful, and not worthy of the stereotypical slams. I still personally believe the dramatic California coastal scenery has a much greater draw for those people fortunate enough to afford example..Alpine vs. Newport Coast lifestyle.. I do agree with many of the New Jersey poster's in saying much of So. Cal is ugly,lifeless,and boring;but that area certainly holds no monopoly on those features.There is a huge difference between Costa Mesa and Malibu,Santa Monica,ect.

40 million people in california actually prefer this "ugly, lifeless" place.. guess we are all dumb and "fake"
can you easterners not get that through your heads? people *gasp* actually prefer warm weather, mountains, palm trees, clean NEW housing stock...whoa not old apartments, grey skies, and humidity
What can you do in SoCal that you cannot do in NJ?
Camp in the desert, surf during the winter, taste at world class wineries, hike up a 10,000 ft mountain, visit remote undeveloped islands (Channel Islands), visit original spanish missions...
I love how the Ca natives can give approval toward their world renown ego and tell NoNJ accept our loss??
Some people have more preferences that go according to NNJ, which may be, four seasons, education, location, etc. Vice Versa goes for SoCa.. Just because YOU don't agree and have your own opinions mean your opinion is favorable to everyone else.
Most of you bashers don't know about the other 70% of the region of NNJ, let alone make yourself look as if you're knowleged enough to start bashing the specs of flaws.
I know that California is beautiful, but you guys post mansions 10 times the size of your house like you own them. Is that proving a point? If any of you can even touch the cost of those properties, than feel free to make a point but a house that doesn't improve the way I live, it's just another slab of concrete I walk on, what does it do but stand their look nice and not be mine?
At least NJ has realstate that can fit the budgets of people of all kinds while in SoCa, your very limited with what you can get, you can't lie.
I'd rather rent in SoCal than own in NNJ. Like you said... it's all about preference.
Ya think?
