As a resident of Orange County, California, I can say without a doubt that this is absolutely true. People travel from all over the world to vacation here for our beaches, theme parks, food, entertainment and so much more.

And yet, as a place to live, It hasn't gained the attention of the public like other areas of California like LA or San Francisco. Here's the top 3 reasons that Orange County, California is the best kept secret in California, today!

One: The lifestyle. Compared to the hustle and bustle of LA's entertainment scene, or San Fran's tech industry, Orange County is far more laid back and slower paced. Traffic is minimal comparatively, and the overall feel is more suburban. The major industries of OC are diverse and include everything from tourism, healthcare, finance, aviation and life science, making the OC a melting pot of industry, appealing to people from all over!

Two: The Weather is AMAZING.

I don't think I need to say much more about this. Orange County has an average high temperature of 73 degrees and 350 sunny days a year. It's basically perfect all year long! It rarely rains here and the sun is always shining! And when compared to neighboring areas we have FAR less smog than LA and minimal coastal fog next to San Francisco.

Three: When compared to the rest of California, Orange County's crime stats are phenomenal.  In fact, we have some of the lowest crime rates not just in California, but the entire country! The city of Irvine, specifically, has been awarded the title of “Safest City in America” for 17 consecutive years! And our schools are ranked among the best public schools in all of California as well.

So if you're looking to live in one of the best vacation destinations in the country with great weather, low crime and great schools, look no further than Orange County, California!
