I grew up in NY and my fiance and I have never lived anywhere else. However, this is a great job and we are going to make the move. I did some research and El Centro doesn't seem like a great place to live and San Diego seems like way too far of a commute (90-120 miles)! So my reason for posting this is, I really know nothing about the area and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for me to live and I could commute? I am willing to commute approximately an hour or so! I just want to live in some type of metro area, not on a rural/desert farm. I understand the temperature is hot, but I am just concerned with living in the middle of no where. A place with restaraunts, car dealerships, ect. Any ideas, opinions, suggestions would be great! I heard maybe Yuma, AZ would be good?
