Best things about Santa Ana that nobody talks about
As a 10-year resident, here are some things about Santa Ana that don't make it into the guides:
1. The farmers market on Saturday mornings is incredible
2. Community events happen almost every weekend
3. The local craft beer scene is legit
Happy to answer questions.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is check out the local Facebook groups for neighborhood info. Makes a big difference.

Rent tip: look for places in January-February. Prices drop and there's more availability.

I'd add that the school system has been improving steadily. Otherwise spot on!

Respectfully disagree about the job market. In my experience, it really depends on your lifestyle.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.
