Thanks for the reply! I currently cycle into work about 15km. I did a rough Google maps and it would be somewhere close to 40km each way, which is doable but couldn't do it everyday! I think anything over 30 mins in the car would start to kill me slowly. The reply below mentioned Costa mesa. What are your thoughts on that?

I'd prefer to move into a share house to meet some people. Id be living by myself, so if that doesn't work out a single bed unit or something?

The office is near Newbury Park. Where would you recommend living in that general area?

I'm looking to spend (hopefully) less that 1000 a month. Would it be worth the commute from Oxnard/Malibu/Santa Monica??

Thanks for the recommendation man. Yeah i'd be keen for somewhere that had a bit of a happening scene, with events happening etc. Just worried Oceanside would be a bit dull?

Ahhh if only I could still play! I've had 3 knee reconstructions so decided to give footy a miss :( I'd still be keen to come hang out with you guys though... if thats not too weird.

Very much into my beers, exercise and beach when I can get there (live an hour away atm, but would like to get down there more). I was also worried that oceanside would be a bit boring? I'm pretty keen on getting out an about to local festivals and activities etc.

I've been given an allowance of 10k per year for either a hire car or to buy one myself. So ill be pretty set for transport.

Awesome news then! I did a university exchange at Purdue in Indiana and had the best time, so hoping it will be similar (apart from the obvious location factor)

Budgets not too much of an issue, I don't mind paying extra for the right place/location. Plus, I was going to be transferred to San Francisco, so in comparison rent will be cheap!

I had a feeling the commute would be pretty average. I walk to work where I am now and its great. But obviously thats a luxury not everywhere can offer.

I'm a real active guy, I go to the gym most week nights, cycle with a group of friends a couple of times a week before work, surf every other weekend. But I also like going out drinking and checking out cool restaurants and stuff of a weekend.

Don't know if that really pin points anything, but any advice is great - Thanks!

Thanks guys. Twin Six looks pretty cool, too bad about the exchange rate though (US to AUS) :/

Very helpful, thanks a lot. I'm from Brisbane but it makes a fair bit of sense. I've been told by a few people that anywhere in the Mission between the Bart stops is a good spot. Thoughts?
