If you’ve lived in Southern California long enough to call this place home, you’ll most likely be able to relate to these ten things on this list. If not, perhaps you’re not a true Southern Californian after all.
Other parts of the country may give us a hard time for missing out on all of the seasons they get to experience year-round, but here in SoCal, we know the truth — everyone is just jealous that we have so much sunshine. And trust us, the sunshine never EVER gets boring.
In SoCal nothing is a bargain. Whether it's the price of gas, the price of groceries, or even the price of a fixer upper, you can pretty much plan on having sticker shock on everything you buy in Southern California.

Storms are not really a SoCal thing. We may get a little rain on occasion, some gusty winds every now and again, and perhaps a little thunder and lightning once or twice a year, but it's nothing that truly qualifies as a storm. Especially in comparison to the rest of the country. Just one more reason to love the lifestyle in Southern California.

We are quite blessed and a bit spoiled when it comes to fresh produce in SoCal. Whether you shop at a farmers market, head to the local grocery store, or even grow it in your backyard, you can count on the freshest produce all year long when you live in Southern California.
If you're a true Southern Californian, chances are you love being outside. Whether it's taking a long hike in the woods, a breezy stroll on the beach, or just playing in the garden in the backyard, there's no question that being outside is one of the many benefits of living in SoCal.

When you live in SoCal, winter clothes aren't really a thing. We may have a light jacket or a fashion scarf we throw on every now and again, but nothing that really qualifies as "winter clothes" are ever taking up room in our closet.
