    "I live here in Wrightwood with my husband. We were married 5 years ago. For both of us this is a 2nd marriage. We have our hometown Church here in WW. Most all our friends attend our chord but not all of them. We live high up on the West side of town, the elevation is higher on this side of town therefore when we do get snow this side usually gets more snow and the snow lasts longer. On a happier moment for the snow if you have children of younger ages they stay pretty occupied in the snow most of the day! Wrightwood definitely has all 4 seasons. The Spring, Summer, and Fall's here in Wrightwood are just gorgeous...we have many different varieties of color and the temperatures in the summer do not go over the 90 degree mark very often. Wrightwood is an excellent place to raise a family. There's not many places out there like it. Truly beautiful place..."

    "We have lived here 30 years and loved it. It is a Mayberry" lifestyle so rare these days. The community is like a big family. There is so much to get involved in, or not. Walking in the mountains is our greatest pleasure as well as clubs. We have an excellent library. The four seasons are lovely! "
