I appreciate the suggestions and am familiar with the valley and south bay. I lived in Torrance and Redondo areas for awhile, and have friends in the valley, but both are out of my range, and not at all what I'm looking for right now. I do however like the idea of Victorville. Granted, I have never been there, but the strategic location and and prices have definitely sparked my curiosity.

This thread has helped me get a more specific idea of what I'm looking for.
1)within 1-2 hrs of L.A. or Bay Area.
2)cheap real estate(around 100K).
3)an area that is likely to experience economic growth in the next 3-5 yrs.
4)a laid back community that is family friendly and has a bit of arts & culture about it.
5)other cheap and oddball places that don't fit #1. ie, Las Vegas.

Thanks again folks!
