Where is the best place in Orange County CA for a married couple in their late twenties to live?
My  husband may be working in Long Beach and I may be working in Garden  Grove. We would like to keep our rent under $2,000 a month, and we have a  small dog. We are moving from Chicago, so we are use to having a lot of  things within walking distance.

I  grew up in Garden Grove but it has changed A LOT since I was there.   For a fun, upbeat area try huntington beach area.  It has a lot of  people in your age group and main street is a great place to walk to for  shops, restaurants and the beach.  You could also drive to Garden Grove  without having to get on the freeway.  The other place to consider  would be Costa Mesa.  There are some affordable apartments and homes  near South Coast plaza area which has plenty of parks, shopping and  restaurants.  Again, you could drive to Garden Grove with very little  freeway needed.  I would suggest checking craiglist.org of the OC  Register (the local newspaper) for places to live in those areas.  Links  for you below.  Good Luck!
