Here is a sampling of some of the answers:
The community.Everything! The small town feel. My neighbors, and the safe and inviting neighborhood. The quiet, except for planes, friendly, kids at Gant, Whaley Park. Quiet, clean, friendly. The people and community spirit. Near CSULB. Everyone is so friendly and has made me and my family feel so welcome! Thank you so much! The Shopping Center is so close. Love that our neighbors watch out so that the street cleaner doesn’t make any money. The weather. Proximity to freeways. Great location, good schools and ever improving environment. People keep their properties looking nice. The sense of a close-knit community in a larger city. Families.
