Choosing where to live OC/IE

Hey everyone! I got a job in Fullerton so I'm trying to narrow down which city l'd want to live in. I currently live in Riverside but my lease is up and I want to move into a one bedroom one bath. My budget is $2100. So here are the initial cities I'm considering: • Fullerton • Anaheim • Corona • Riverside

and let me know if there are specific neighborhoods I should check out! I’d love to live in Orange County because it’s something new and seems exciting. But I also hear it’s expensive so I’m not opposed to staying in the IE.

Deciding Factors: • A lively environment. I'm not expecting it to be walkable but I want to be around other people and within a short drive to exciting things • No more than 35 min commute (6am/7am start shift) • Living near other people my age (I'm 25) • Diversity • Coffee shops/farmers markets/malls
