Apple Valley and surroundings
Does anyone have any pictures they could post of Apple Valley and surrounding areas?
Also, in reading the posts, someone said they have ice storms in Apple Valley??? Is that true?? Since it is higher up the mountain, it's colder?
I currently live in WA state and am thinking of moving to Apple Valley.
Thanks for your comments

Apple Valley
That bad, eh?
My 2d choice was Colorado. Maybe I should take another look at that...

In the current state of CA, choosing CO would be a WISE decision.

Inland Empire is fine, it's just the high desert is well, I don't know. It's hard to describe. There are nice parts but to me between being in the middle of nowhere, huge annual population increase, drugs, and the quality overall of its residents I find it to be a very depressing area. |

I have lived in Apple Valley for over four years now, and love everything about it.
I'm sure there are some drugs here, as there is everywhere, including CO, but I have never encounter and drug or gang problems.
Ice storms...? It snows here once every couple of years. Some times the snow will stay on the ground for several hours... Rarely does it get as low as the 20's. Coldest I've seen it was +17 one year.
Some of the older parts of town are on the shabby side, but it's becoming an upscale community. Homes are restricted to minimum 1/2 acre lots, which helps keep out the bad element.
It is the desert, and it does get hot in the summer. The landscape if far different than Washington or Colorado. We like the hot summers. We purchased a home in Oregon, but after spending a few vacations there, we didn't like the constant rain and cold, so never moved there.
So it depends on what you like. We prefer this climate to the NW.
As far as drugs and crime, I sure wouldn't let that keep me away, it's no worse here than anywhere. If you aren't looking for trouble, and don't hang out in dark alleys after midnight, you won't have a problem...

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.

I would go to Colorado before Apple Valley.....do you like desert dirt or large forest and pine trees and clean air?
Colorado! |
