Hello, I'm retired and Crime rate is something to consider -Ojus sits at 842.9 per 100K. With a population of 17,101, Ojus is a small town. The unemployment rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Am I overthinking this? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are improving, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from San Francisco and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in North. It's hit or miss for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in construction. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.
All Countries
