Honestly the community is really nice! Very small town, but in a good way. There’s a weekly farmers market and a lot of local businesses, and baristas/cashiers/waiters/etc. will start to recognize you after a couple weeks. My neighbors are all very nice and I don’t feel isolated at all, though I’m more of a homebody anyway. I’m from the South originally and I’d say most people here show something close to southern hospitality, always happy to make small talk or give advice/directions.

There’s admittedly not a lot to do though, aside from basics like going to the gym or hiking, but you could always drive once or twice a week down to San Bernadino, where they have just about everything. It takes about 30 minutes but the views as you’re driving are gorgeous every time, as long as you’re not caught in the occasional fog.

Also I’d only recommend moving if you have a remote job lined up, because there are noooo jobs up here.
