Moving to Oceanside — what should I know?

I grew up here but left for a while. With a population of 173K, Oceanside is a mid-size city. You can expect to pay around $2,207 for rent here. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Sunset. It's solid for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in consulting. If you're in finance you might struggle.

People: Generally decent. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Korean.

No regrets on my end..
