1 hour outside LA... Beaumont? Applevalley? Menifee? (Riverside, Moreno Valley: real estate, homes, buy)

[RVD51283]

My job has me possibly relocating to some businesses in Beaumont, Applevalley, or Menifee?

I know nothing about these areas except that mapquest says they are right outside of LA...

Are they nice places to live? Can you suggest a city to live in that would be a close commute to LA to party and see sporting events and get to work in a reasonable drive???

These places are 1.5 to 2 hours away. Real estate prices here are tanking like no other so it should be quiet inexpensive for you. As for them being "nice" places. They're decisively lower middle class and a huge distance from anything remotely classy. If Fontana is Fontucky then Beaumont would Beaumabama.

menifee is a small little town that has a pretty good high school Paloma if u have kids applevalley and beaumont are okay. But i think menifee is better to live

[Rats]

so will you be working in all 3 of those locations? they are all very distant from each other.

the only place around them that I would even consider living in is Redlands
