Hey everyone!

Looking to make some new friendships here in SCV 🙌 My wife and I moved here ~3 years ago and live in the new community behind Six Flags. We have a 14 month old son and 2 dogs.

A bit about me:

• Wife and I are both 30
• Work remotely in tech
• Left-leaning politically
• Like playing video games (when I have the time/energy lol)
• Enjoy board/card games (and the occasional more complicated board game)
• Used to play guitar and a few other instruments and looking for a reason to get back into practicing/playing
• Do some casual cycling as a workout but also interested in getting more into cycling
• Enjoy the occasional edible/puff 🍃lol

Curious to hear if anyone has suggestions for making some new connections/friendships! Or if you wanna connect, even better, just shoot me a DM 🎉

Happy 4th!

Hello new neighbors!

My family and I moved to SCV recently and would love to enjoy the parade tomorrow. Can you guys recommend what time to get there, where to park, and where to place our chairs? I’m not familiar with the area yet, so specific addresses would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Seeing who's awake in our quiet town.

There's a trinket trade box in Saugus. Saw a post from the owner that it was vandalized yesterday by some kids. They ripped off some decorations and left trash. Real class act.

Hello,

My partner and I are moving to Valencia from Ireland. We are currently looking for apartments. Our ideal... 3 bedrooms, in a complex with good facilities (pool, bbq area, common space, gym etc, in close walking distance to the town center).

Has anyone any recent experience with the Madison at Town Center? Saw a couple of nice apartments online for here...fully furnished, which would make life easier.

Any other recommendations we should consider? I know there's the Paseo, Bell Valencia...any feedback on these? They don't seem to have 3 bedrooms but would reduce to 2 if reviews are much better elsewhere. We only want 3 to have space for visitors.

Thanks for any advice!

I drive a Subaru. I need my brake pads replaced. The dealership wants to charge me basically $1200 for front and back. I feel this is ridiculous. Anyone know of decent mechanic for this job in SCV?

Looking for themed restaurants in SCV. Also any places that may not be considered themed - just heavily decorated? Maybe the owner went crazy and filled it with cool things to look at? Thanks!

We’re looking to go to Castaic lake

I remember many years ago, we saw fireworks there and just wanted to check and see if they still do that?

18m in Santa Clarita. New to the area for school, haven’t really met anyone yet. Is there any places where I should go and try to meet people? Let me know greatly appreciate 🙏

(Disclaimer, I know Starbucks isn't great in general. I'm talking about messed up orders)

It's a bunch of young adults who probably aren't trained properly and the drinks they make are almost always poorly made and incorrect.

Any actually good Starbucks in the area?

I’ve been trying to look on Google Maps and yelp but no luck. Not particularly looking to see if it’s sold at a restaurant but at a grocery store so I can just pick up and go.

Has anyone else had a house fly problem the last couple of months? I've lived in my house almost 30 years and NEVER had this issue. These are house flies, not fruit flies. They seem to get in mid to late afternoon and hang around (unless the fly swatter gets them) to around dinner time. Sometimes they seem to get in 2 or 3 at a time. I do have a few days where I do not see any but it's more the exception than the rule lately.

Unlike ants it much harder to find out where they are coming in from. I've started to use the rubber stopper in the kitchen sink but they also might be coming through the vents in the house. I've set up a apple cider vinegar/dish soap solution as well as putting up some fly ribbons and window sticky's in and out of the house but they haven't caught anything. Door/windows are sealed well.

A couple of my neighbors have had the same issue so I'm not alone. Actually was out in Monrovia yesterday and the person we were visiting said she also has had the same issue so don't know how widespread this is. Climate change?

Just curious if others have experienced a similar situation and if so have any good remedies.

Feeling slightly discouraged with the current market. Rates I heard went up. We have a decent down payment. My husband and I are able to support ourselves comfortably. We have been on the hunt since April but the goal post seems to be constantly moving. Trying to just squeeze in for a condo or townhouse before our rent goes up again. We were hoping for something in the 500ks for 2bd and 2bth. But everything thats great gets snatched up quick and others are clearly overpriced and need some work. Some are ridiculous and priced over 600k for a townhouse. We are approved for higher but who can or wants to afford a 5k mortgage? Does anyone have some good advice for pathway to home ownership? Should we just stop looking, bite the rent increase bullet and wait more?
