What I wish I knew before living in Oceanside
Random thought, Been living here since 2013. Household incomes average around $93,724 in Oceanside. The median home value here is around $702,000, which is pretty steep. Average temperature is around 60°F, so the weather is moderate. Crime rate is something to consider — Oceanside sits at 402.0 per 100K. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Nice parks and trails
- Active local events
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Rising rent prices
- Lack of diversity
- Boring for young people
