I worked swing shift at that time It was no problem driving and I loved the mountains. It was quite where I lived. The air was much better than L.A. I moved in 2016. Nothing bad to say about Palmdale.
I'm glad to hear you had a pleasant experience while living in the Antelope Valley! 🏡
We moved here from San Diego year 2000 and it’s one of the best thing that ever happened to me. I love our community and I enjoyed the dessert living . Lots of jobs too specially for health care workers.
Yes indeed. The desert is a beautiful place to live! 🌴🏡🌴
Are you on the west side of Palmdale ?
I'm considering moving somewhere in the area (looking @ Apple Valley, Lancaster, Palmdale, Victorville @ surrounding areas) in the next year. I want to be within 60-90 minutes of Burbank (family there). I'm a hospice nurse. Any suggestions for what areas are best for safety & affordability for someone in this field?
Lived in Palmdale from 1996 to 2006 (in Rancho Vista). A lifetime of beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I was lucky to work at Plant 42 so my commute was about 10 minutes. However, our neighbors had the long commute to 'down below'. We saw the children growing up without parental supervision for a large part of the day after the schools let out. By the time we were moving out, the sounds of the sheriff's helicopters urging the kids to go home became routine. Then the gangs came in and there was a shooting one street over from ours. I wish that after all this time the chamber of commerce or the business development folks would have surveyed the residents to learn what occupations they are traveling so far to get to so those businesses could be lured to the Antelope Valley. I wish all the best to Palmdale and Lancaster.
Thank you for your insightful comment. I hear such nice stories from people telling me about their time living in Palmdale. I'm sure you have great memories and witnessed a lot of change. Thank you again for your nice comment. 🏡🏡🏡
This man is super honest tho. Respect!
@@Nocksmoth Thank you. I appreciate your kind words! 🏠
Thank you so very much. You are very informative. We miss the high desert and wide open spaces.
You're welcome! I love the wide open spaces of the desert. 🏜
East Palmdale 10st-13st. When I lived there bodies were dropping like flies but it all depends where you live ig.
Very true, it all depends on where you live. ☮️✌️☮️

@@Mr.Tank13 what about it?
I am happy to answer any questions you may have about buying or selling a home in Palmdale. Please comment, call, text or email. 🌴🌴🏘🏡🏘🌴🌴
Thank you so much for the video
You're welcome. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave such a nice comment! 🌴🏡🌴
West Palmdale is nice
West Palmdale certainly is nice Miguel. 🌴🏡🌴
Thank God for your video. I live in long beach and I want more bang for my buck. The houses here are outrageous in price. Palmdale sounds perfect for me. The weather is not something I would like. I love warm weather but not brutally hot and not cold.
Palmdale will give you more bang for your buck but you may not be a fan of the weather. It does get hot and it does get cold! 🏡🏡🏡
@@RealEstateHappensI may need you for my palmdale agent. I will keep in touch.
@@MAVERICK72226 I will be happy to assist you whenever you need me. 🏡🏡🏡
Do you also work in Long Beach?
I can attest to the drive time. I had to be at work in Glendale at 5am. If I left my home in Palmdale before 3:55am, I would get to work with 10 minutes to spare. If I left at 4:00am+, it would add 20 minutes to my commute. Its a science to get the right timing for your commute. A lot of people I knew worked in Santa Clarita, thats the best if you work out of your home city.
You forgot to mention the best jobs available in Palmdale, aerospace. As for the high crime, I didnt notice anything at all living there, then again, I lived in the nice part of town, West Palmdale. You definitely dont want to live on the East side.
Awesome comment and spot on! Wow that was tough leaving at 3:55 am every day! I hope you are in a place in life where you no longer have a long commute. 🙂
@RealEstateHappens O, yes, in a much better place now in terms of commute. My drive time is now 20 minutes, and I love it. I also work a second shift schedule, so it's massively better for me. Thanks for the kind words and cool video on Palmdale.
I used to work second shift in Burbank prior to Real Estate and I love it! Had the whole morning to run errands or go out to breakfast or work in my yard. Take care. @@garattyfisher
"As for the high crime, I didnt notice anything at all living there"
You mean "sleeping there" given that your entire waking life was spent somewhere else.
I’d like to add for those who commute out of Palmdale beyond Santa Clarita, GASOLINE costs back and forth five days per week, and wear & tear on your car (tires, oil change) and wear & tear on your body (sleep, nutrition, exercise and overall wellbeing can suffer) depending upon your age & health.
Finally, Various sections on the east side of Palmdale are great, while “some” east Palmdale and Lancaster sections are not that great.
Living close to Pearblossom direct access to 14 freeway or close access to the 14 freeway also can also save “some” time.
Whatever you decide about living in this area, if you decide to hire a real estate agent, steer clear of Christine Healy and Realty Executives. Or any other firm she might work for.
Just some advise from someone knows.
How reliable is to commute to LA from Pamdale using meteolink? I have heard it's at least an hour each way to and from LA.
Great question. Metrolink is usually reliable, but whenever it happens to be down, you may be stranded in Los Angeles trying to find a way to get back to Palmdale. 🏠
Is it dangerous over there?
I feel very safe in Palmdale.
Depends on where you are. The west side tends to be much cleaner and better.
What’s the best place in southern cal, oc etc to live for single adult for new beginnings?
It depends on your budget and where you will be employed or where your business will be located. SOCAL offers many great neighborhoods. 🙂
Are you in Palmdale in this video? Lol I don’t recognize the spot! Good video tho! Hope you do well!
Thank you for the well wishes! This video was shot in a Walmart parking lot on Valley Center Drive. 🏠
@@RealEstateHappens that’s right! Maybe I’ll have to use you when I’m ready to move to the west!
@@Nocksmoth I would be happy to help! 🏠
Look in the back, you see the bus with Parris marketing wrap.
@shelleysheri7698 Shelley, you have a great eye for detail! ☮️✌️☮️
How can I contact you concerning real-estate questions?

30 years ago there were plenty of pros now it is all cons.
I appreciate your comment. 🌴🏡🌴
What’s the political environment?
Differing views are respected. It is a very inclusive place to live. ☮️✌️☮️
@@RealEstateHappens nonsense. it's far right as you'd expect from a town surviving off the military industrial complex. If you aren't far right, you'll hate it here and you're advised to look elsewhere
High crime
High crime compared to where?
@@RealEstateHappens well there is a reason they call it Victimville
Never ever heard it called victimville. What city are you comparing it to?@@corydwyer377
@@RealEstateHappens I drive for Uber up in that area and Victorville and especially Barstow are considered high crime. My passengers tell me this. In fact, they're the ones that told me that name. Remember many people from the high desert are from LA.
@corydwyer377 Completely different areas. Barstow is an hour and a half away from Palmdale. You're "Victimville" comment was probably in reference to Victorville, which is an hour away from Palmdale.
Palmdale sucks
@@ThatsPlayr69 Thank you for sharing. Do you live in Palmdale? Or did you live in palmdale in the past?
To understand the antelope valley you have to understand the city counsels have been controlled by realtors for generations. all city growth and planning is solely determined by which property the current realtors own or want to invest in. they are driven by the constant quest to increase population so they can build and sell more homes and they don't have any concerns about infrastructure. The region has and will continue to be hit the hardest by every real estate bubble. It will rise the highest and sink the lowest right after, leaving a larger impoverished, crime ridden, drug addicted population than it had before the boom. It's like wave after wave of human detritus washing up on the antelope valley's shores. And this will happen every few years. Hopeful young families are lured out by low prices and then a couple years later they are foreclosed on and their kids are in gangs. but then what do I know? I'm only 4th gen AV.
palmdale in a nutshell- blacks escaping the LA ghettos brought those ghettos with them
