I'm on the next phase of my project in Santa Ana and have been flying back and forth from ATL to SNA twice a week. The company is trying to cut costs so they asked me if I could find an apartment near work. Taking the flights down to once a month and getting a long term rental car would really help on the budget. I asked around on the best places to live and it looks like Newport Beach is the best.
I searched around on Craigslist and found a few cool places on Balboa Island. They're not near the beach like I was in Sydney. They're ON the beach. I sent a bunch of emails and ended up interviewing with three different places. I narrowed it down to two places with people that seemed cool. I ended up choosing a place with two girls around my age, with a place that was walking distance to the bars, and most importantly - a 30 second walk on the beach. I bought a bed and the rest of the room was furnished. I'm all set up within earshot of the waves crashing and the best part is it's less then 20 minutes from my front doorstep to sitting at my desk. I technically still live in Atlanta, but this is home for at least the next 6 months.
