The truth about Anaheim — honest review

Been a Anaheim resident for 7 years. Here's my honest take:

Pros:
- Strong job market
- Lots of outdoor activities
- Reasonable housing

Cons:
- Some areas are rundown
- Property taxes are high

Overall I'd rate it 7/10. It's not perfect but I really enjoy living here.

For families, I'd recommend looking at Downtown. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.

As someone who moved here from Houston, I can confirm most of this. The job opportunities surprised me the most.

I'd add that healthcare options are better than most cities this size. Otherwise spot on!

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.
