where do the yuppies live? (Long Beach, Santa Ana: colleges, law, vs)

[Irvinerenter]

Which area in Orange County would you guys say a lot of yuppies live? For example, in LA I really like Manhattan Beach and Brentwood. What would be the equivalent in Orange County.

Irvine is really nice, but it is very family oriented.

Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Inland: Villa Park, Anaheim Hills, Coto De Caza, Yorba Linda, North Tustin.

Coastal: Newport Beach (including Newport Coast/Corona Del Mar), parts of Dana Point, parts of Laguna Beach, Irvine's Shady Canyon.

Laguna, Arts District Santa Ana, Newport, and Huntington Beach...Even though not in the OC, but adjacent Downtown Long Beach and Belmont Shores.

The Arts District is kind of becoming like a mini Silver Lake with hipsters, but hipsters are really just really young yuppies. Downtown Long Beach is also becoming really hipster-ish as well. The rest are more like Manhattan Beach (Huntington still retains a very beachy town and Newport is mixed old money and college town).

Where do the Yuppies live?

Orange County.

There are perhaps fewer in the north orange county cities Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, Westminister, etc.

For oyounger yuppies (no families) stay near the coast. The inland cities especially in south county tend to be families and older people.

Not many yuppies anywhere in LA region

Despite ~18MM pop region, LA has far fewer yuppies than NYC or Silicon Valley or Chic

Yuppies tend to work at financial and law firms which are largely in Century City or Santa Monica or DLA

Newport has PIMCO but not much else in OC suburbs for yuppies except some engineers at Broadcom and some of the smaller OC tech cos.

Suspect lack of real yuppie epicenter in Nwpt makes it rather difficult for firms like PIMCO to attract talented kids from elite colleges vs financial firms based in Cent City or SM
