LIVING IN HESPERIA CA, PROS AND CONS

[@gingerhadley]

My family moved to Hesperia in 1968. I went to Hesperia Junior High when there was only one Junior high in town. I went to Apple Valley High school because there were only two high schools one in Apple Valley and one in Victorville. Around 3,000 people lived there at that time. A lot of the streets a few blocks off of Main Street where dirt roads that were not paved until years later. I remember when the overpass was built. I remember when there were two mom-and-pop grocery stores and no chain supermarkets. My senior year of high school we had a blizzard that stopped the entire town for several days. Hesperia is nothing like a small town anymore.

Moved out here in 2014. Left Downtown Los Angeles. Sold in 2020 👍 Back on the road now. Waiting for market to crash to buy

In my area, we never really get snow only once a year and it's very brief it doesn't even pile up but it can get really cold one day in the winter and the next its like a boiling room which breaks the immersion of that winter feeling but I do love how peaceful my area is.

[@wendycarothers]

[@beckygarcia7785]

[@mrsmokeyloko..1976]

A some people around Hesperia,are telling me that In order to live in Hesperia the city has to do a background check.. is that true❓️...

[@DerekDeVille]

Hello. That is false.

[@YoungHaveNot]

Unless your a sexual offender, why he worried? Are you a freak?

[@catd7547]

Great video 👍

[@DerekDeVille]

Thank you!

Dude come on close to surfing?! Try hours away. I live in Huntington Beach & am driving through ur city on the way to Vegas. It’s a cool little town, but no where, *I MEAN NO WHERE NEAR A BEACH*

[@DerekDeVille]

Thanks for watching. 1.5 hours away from Huntington... It's more than a bike ride away for sure 😂. Thanks again for watching. God Bless.

[@kimgrey9454]

Sure there is, Silverwood lake. Just can't surf!

[@waltchan]

Most people don't care about the beach anymore. When you grow up, you leave the beach behind.

[@YoungHaveNot]

​@Walt C agreed. Who give AF about the beach? These days im more worried about being robbed and murdered

[@jess97724]

No because living near a beach is going to cost you a ton of money not everyone is rich!!!

[@coreneshimozaki914]

Hello My friend and hope you have. a great day.

[@spacesheep2110]

Are fires a great concern when building new construction?

[@DerekDeVille]

Hello. They are a concern but not a high one. Fingers crossed! Thanks for watching!

[@Roli_theRealtor]

Wouldn't it be the same "pros & cons" as living in Apple Valley? Now I'm curious to watch your video to see how they differ.

[@DerekDeVille]

Thank you for watching! I've lived in boh cities and I hope my videos help you. If you want more details let me know and we can text or talk on the phone to make sure you get the info you're looking for.

[@pigjubby1]

Moved to Hesperia with my family in 1982. At the time it was boring. Moved far away in 1984. Looking back, it was a great place. I hope to move back.

[@DerekDeVille]

Thanks for watching. When the time comes text me 760-559-4805 so I can find you the perfect place. Cheers!

[@beckygarcia7785]

[@coolxgamer1591]

Everything you said is true

[@DerekDeVille]

Thank you @coolXGamer15

Are there certain sites to locate rental homes ?

[@DerekDeVille]

Hi. Yes, public sites like zillow & homes.com will work. Connecting with a local property mgmt company is a great option also. My offices do not manage rentals at this time but possibly in the future. Does that help?

[@samrivera4736]

Random question who is the trash provider in the high desert?

[@DerekDeVille]

Hello. It depends on the area...the High Desert is a very large geographical region.

[@erinvaughn3739]

I lived there 50 years ago and there was nothing there.

[@spencerhamm5792]

Family moved there a while ago from San Diego for reasons you mentioned. I was raised there for most of my childhood. Loved it, Sold their small house in SD for a house with a house/lot ~2 acres in Hesperia and made money off of it. I now live in NM, and would move back in a heart beat if I could. Seems like a lot of people work down in SB area but live in Hesperia due to lack of employment options.

[@erinvaughn3739]

I lived there 50 years ago and moved to San Diego .. there was nothing there.

[@calvinwinallday]

Spencer, what’s your experience of New Mexico? How long have you lived there?

[@spencerhamm5792]

​@@calvinwinallday experience is good. The cost of living is quite low. I live in Grant County NM. Main complaints are lack of amenities, and travel time to get to locations. If you don't live in the Albuquerque or Las Cruces areas it seems like you have to travel quite a ways to get anywhere. I was used to being about an hour away from the beach, skiing, theme parks, off-road/outdoor recreation areas, etc. which New Mexico does not really offer except for the off-road/outdoor recreation areas which seems to be quite relaxed law wise and compared to California. Compared to CA most areas are an outdoor recreaetion area lol. I like it here, but the two places that I would move to in NM besides where I am at would either be Santa Fe or Las Cruces areas as that is comparable to Hesperia or the SB area.

[@THEgeno760]

Great vid Derek.

[@haskellbob]

I found it very weird and unpleasant there.

[@rudolphnavarro6872]

I’m planning on moving back home to California. Can you do a video on jobs, schools, schools sports.

[@DerekDeVille]

Thanks for watching. I'll add that to my list of videos, great idea!

[@giantalligator9934]

Everyone knows when you buy a house you don't pay commissions! The seller pays the commissions. DUH!

[@DerekDeVille]

Thanks for watching!

[@trinityespejo119]

Do you have anything for rent?

[@DerekDeVille]

Hello. I don't handle any rentals, only sales. Contact VIP MGMT in Hesperia and they should be able to help.

[@trinityespejo119]

Do you have any apartments available

[@DerekDeVille]

Hi again Trinity. I do not, so sorry.

[@stevec5576]

[@rudymelendrez]

[@YoungHaveNot]
