Just north of gangsta?? ridden San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita is just 25 mile north of downtown LA. It??s on the FBI??s top 10 list for safest American city under 200,000 to live. Santa Clarita is the best home value in LA County. I know.. we live here!
I??m a freelance vo talent who move to sunny So-Cal 21/2 years ago from Houston with no intention to buy due to sticker shock. However, with creative financing and 0 down (closing cost of $4500) we moved into our new home in the hills. We did all this 6 months after we set up business here. Our mortgage is $2000 on a 30 yr. Sure most of it is interest, but that??s the beauty of the whole thing! I get to write it off! 383,000 got us 4 bedrooms 21/2 baths and a decent back yard. If I get an itch for more space I hike the hills and riverbed. . You mention you have kids.. we have excellent schools out here. Sorry if I sound like a spokesperson for the Chamber of Commerce. It's just a great place to raise a family!
I agree housing cost is outrageous out here, but there is sooo much free stuff to do out here!

Talk to a banker or real estate agent out here.
Good luck!

That 383-thousand dollar house 2.5 years ago is now definitely over 5-hundred, thousand. I agree when you got in, it made sense. Getting into the LA area, NYC, DC, San Fran 2.5 years ago was really the last opportunity for most normal people (who aren't inheritance babies). This is the most important point -- which was missing from your post.
