Southern California is known for its options. It is one of the few places where you can surf in the ocean, ski in the snow and play golf in the desert all in the same day. There are beaches, mountains, deserts, cities, suburbs and every type of locale in between. The Southern California region provides world-class cuisine for all types of foodies and boasts a great art scene. There are museums, pop-up art installations and symphonies. Employees can revel in rock history on the Sunset Strip and there are plenty of opportunities for potential celebrity sightings throughout the home of the entertainment industry. If you like sports, you are covered with professional baseball, basketball, football, hockey and soccer teams. Living in Northridge offers a perfect combination of urban living with the beauty of nature.
