Aubrey Garcia best-worst Feb 1, 2026

Been meaning to ask this. I'm a college student here and Homes are going for about $259,800 on average. Median household income is $52,111, which feels on the lower side for the area. Rent is about $1,457/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 72--F, so it's warm year-round. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
