Rave: I'm moving to Castaic, CA this weekend, & here's what it means for me:
1) Much closer to my job (less than 15min away!) & very light traffic, normally the opposite way of rush hour traffic...very easy & stress-free commute
2) Bigger place than where I presently reside, (but still cheaper than what I pay now!)
3) very close to I-5 freeway, so it's still easy access for me to drive anywhere I want to, such as Dodger games when Cards are in town...(but too busy this week to go to the Angels/Cards games)
4) The complex itself has features more convenient than what I'm used to, such as laundry room right underneath my unit, at the bottom of my stairs.....my private patio, overlooking the street, w/nice view of the lake
5) small town feel, & half-block away from shopping area, it has all this:
Ralphs Grocery, 99 cent store(or was that Dollar Tree?)
Chase bank------McD's, Denny's, Wendy's, PandaExpress, Starbucks, 7-11, & more I can't think of right now........& a gigantic truck stop around the corner.
6) sports complex within walking distance (basketball gyms & Olympic competition-quality pool)
7) my favorite part, it's a lake town...I'll be on Ridge Route Rd, N/W of corner at Lake Hughes Rd, observe my proximity to the lake:

It really hadn't occurred to me to consider this town for living in, until I played a basketball league at that complex 2-3 years ago.......finally landed this place, after being on long waiting list.
EDIT: forgot the rant part (the process of moving, of course)

Sounds like it'll be worth the hassle. Congrats!
