I moved to Oceanside in 1991 when all my friends said don’t….back then it was the higher than average crime rate. Now, all my friends say how cool it is. If you want to live coastal city in Southern California, Oceanside is still the best deal. If coming from Orange County, the price of homes are significantly lower than Orange County
Yeah I moved out to this area and left a roommate. I’ve been chilling in a hotel in Carlsbad but I’m thinking about renting in Oceanside so I think it’s a better deal
Born and raised here and although the cost of living is high, everywhere else in Southern Cal by a beach is going to be as well. My biggest complaint would be our streets and parks. Other than that, I love it here. 3 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath Condo between 500k - 600k but worth it to me. Single family home can run between 750k on the low end to 900k on the high end
I remember back in 74 living in wire mt 1 and hearing the maching gun echos everywhere. Being a kid, I didn't know what the sound was. Plus att the beach we watched the am tracks going in and out. Loved it there
your kidding right? when i lived there for 10 years back in the late 90's i paid $750.00 a month for a new condo about 2 miles from the coast. could see the ocean. Now retired i was going to come visit and see how the town has changed. Houses were about $180.000 to $250.000.
Things have changed since I last lived there 25 yrs ago; some good, some not so good. It was still an interesting place to be nonetheless. I was there from 1986 to 1998 with a few months here-n-there when I came back to the east coast where I am now.
This was very brutally honest. If you can afford to live here it doesn't have a bad side except driving on Coast Highway or Pacific Street on the weekends due to the ignorant realignment of Coast Hwy (Hill Street) south of Oceanside Boulevard and because of the bike riders on Pacific. I think the "Sounds of Freedom" are microquakes as far as the ground is concerned. A couple of times they made the house bounce (over a 25 year period, however), so when the "big one" comes scientists might have a lot to study. Makes me wonder the percentage of cracked slabs. I know when I sold 2 years ago I had a cracked slab. The nightlife isn't bad and if I had a time machine could definitely get laid like the 80's. You don't have the play or theater but Carlsbad wildlife is full of Cougars, especially if Gone Blonde is playing🤣🤣
I moved to Oceanside when I was 2-3ish from San Clemente and moved away in 2021, to WA state at 35, so I lived there essentially my whole life. I am SOOO glad to have moved away. Oceanside has turned into a tourist trap full of tweakers. Drive down Oceanside Blvd past El Camino Real at any given time, or west of the 5 at any point and it’s like driving through an episode of The Walking Dead. I lived on Oceanside Blvd and had to call the cops many times on tweakers screaming in the streets in the middle of the night. Avoid Oceanside if you can! It’s southern California, so it’s automatically overcrowded and expensive, but you’re definitely not getting your money’s worth.
@@dlrsnate5100 Huh? I said I was 2-3 when I moved out of San Clemente. I live in WA state now and it’s the opposite of a mess. Ok? I am a girl so not sure why you’re telling me this…
Moved to Oceanside 10 years ago and thoroughly regret it, been trying to find a way out since, I feel trapped. Way too conservative and boring, no nightlife, no culture, no nothing. I leave for everything except grocery shopping.
I feel for you man. The Midwest is we’re it’s at but you lose the coast environment. Something I’ve always wanted but I can only imagine no money for anything being out there. I wish the best for you in good faith
I’m a fan overall but Fire 🔥 Mountain ⛰️ seems like the only part of Oceanside that isn’t completely overrun with homeless. Try calling OPD about bums and they often give you attitude

Moved here from OC a couple years ago. It's great. Now when I visit OC I have no regrets moving down south.
Born and raised in Oceanside and moved out to Oregon in 2014 . I really miss living there
I really appreciate your personality and peaceful presentation. A true professional!

I know, I brought my first home here in 1988, a 3Br 2.5 Ba 1800 Sqft home for $144,000. Things have really changed.
Gentrification has devistatimg impacts😢
Love Oceanside
Honestly idc if it’s expensive,I’ looked at it before I moved from Louisiana ratherStruggle and live near a beach than move back to Louisiana
Thats why I’m moving for good this weekend ..

Always wanted to live here it’s a dream. You make it realistic and reality is unless I can make over 120k it’s just not practical
You can never hear Camp Pendleton here…
I live on base and don’t hear much very often. The army base I lived near in the past made far, far more noise than CP.

Wa. State? Yuck! Lived there for years, hated it. Bothell area
@@supac1 You lived in a shitty place , I do not. I am from Oceanside, which is a shit hole.
Life has probably been a wreck since leaving San Clemente huh ? Lmao.
There are no girls in Oceanside

1. It's ghetto
2. It's ghetto
3. It's ghetto
And so on
Not to mention, there is no girls in Oceanside.
I’m a fan overall but Fire 🔥 Mountain ⛰️ seems like the only part of Oceanside that isn’t completely overrun with homeless. Try calling OPD about bums and they often give you attitude
Living well in Fire Mountain. It's a true gem with large homes and lots. So glad I bought here in 2006.
@@briand2340 excellent timing ⏱️! You’ve seen massive appreciation since then
