Lompoc
May 2018– The town I live in now is called Lompoc. This is a smaller town that is very near to the coast and for it’s close proximity to the ocean does not have a large population. While small, there are several restaurants, bars and commercial area that is available in the area. The fact that you can get to the beach within 10 minutes is probably the most appealing thing about living here and what I like the most. It is also one of the most affordable areas to live in the central coast of California as the cost of living can be extremely high much of the area surrounding this city. I’ve only lived here for a little over a year so not much has changed but the surrounding areas of this city have started to be built up more which is nice because they’re only 15 to 20 minutes away. While there are some thing to do day to day here, on the weekends you’re better off traveling elsewhere to have fun or do something interesting. The crime in the city is not terrible but could be improved upon as there are some areas that are not the best in regard to negative things like that going on. Most of the people who grow up in this town ultimately end up staying here so there is a lot of people who know each other well within this community. Overall I’ve had a mostly positive experience living here but can’t say I intend to stay long term.
