    "I live 10 miles from the freeway! Then it’s right there...Cottonwood! Go north on freeway and there’s Anderson, next, Redding. Go south and it takes you to Red Bluff! You have to drive a little! But traffic isn’t too bad!"

    "I just moved here 5 days ago, and do not know anyone except one immediate neighbor. I have been told there are an older neighbor household across the street but I have not been here long enough to meet them. The neighborhood is small and very quiet so far, some are seniors (over 55) and others are working class. Thanks Trulia, wish me Blessings in my new home! You have always been ‘Tops’ in my book😊."

    "The Lake California POA has had a number of struggles over the years. Currently homeowners are facing 11+ million in Law suits while only having 2 million in insurance. The POA itself has instigated over 700 lawsuits against 1300 families over the years. Lots of natural beauty, but distant for shopping and jobs. "

    "I raised my children in the area. Excellent schools, very safe, neighbors watch out for one another, very peaceful and private! My children learned to drive here and are the best drivers! The school bus came right to my door. Great 4-H club ! Great week-ends at the lakes, on the slopes, sledding, hiking, fishing, hunting, and on it goes! All of the recreational opportunities you could want and all can be done in a day trip!"
