Vista
Vista, California sits just northwest of San Diego, only seven miles from the Pacific Ocean. In the heart of Southern California, the city enjoys balmy Mediterranean-like climate most of the year. It's a medium-sized city with just over 90,000 people, but it was named the seventh-best place in the United States for family living. With a business park housing over 800 companies, over 25 highly ranked education facilities, a low cost-of-living, and plenty of jobs, it's not hard to see why Vista is a wonderful place to live or visit.
