First post here. I'm a remote worker and Homes are going for about $674,400 on average. With a population of 98,646, Vista is a smaller city. Crime rate is something to consider -Vista sits at 346.3 per 100K. Poverty rate is 7.1%, which is pretty low. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. Let me know your thoughts. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
