Housing market in Yorba Linda right now

So, I'm a teacher here and Crime rate is something to consider -Yorba Linda sits at 61.6 per 100K. With a population of 67,407, Yorba Linda is a smaller city. Poverty rate is 4.9%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $1,091,700 on average. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Low taxes
- Lots of new development
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
Am I wrong here? Thanks for reading. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The city has invested a lot in new development. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.

I've been here 11 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is average.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Westside side vs the Sunset side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

No regrets on my end..
