[quote author="autox" date=1248039491]Thanks for the reply.
Luckily, I won't be commuting to Irvine, but rather Loma Linda. I have family all over So Cal, Lareda Ranch, corona, riverside, anaheim, Pasadena. So Chino Hills is central and would be ideal. The wife did not find a job yet, so Chino hills would also allow her to have wider job search area.
I don't know much about chino hills, other than it has pretty good schools. Haven't found a good forum dedicated to that area, so if anyone can point me to one, I would appreciate it.</blockquote>
If I was to move back (ha!) I would look at Pomona (the triangle cut off by the 71/60/57), Diamond Bar, and Walnut. Your wife will likely have to commute either West or South. Also, I'd be heavily biased to Clairemont.
