    Good Schools?

    Looking to purchase a home and Palmdale fits our budget but I have yet to make the jump because of the school ratings are absolutely horrible no matter the side of the freeway you are on.

    For those that live there with children attending can you please give any advice on the schools and what your thoughts are and what the good schools you would recommend?

    I have a 12 (7th) and 7 (2nd) graders

    Where to learn about Zoning and Land Use for buying land in Palmdale?

    I have already downloaded and viewed zoning maps and land use maps from the City Of Palmdale website. But is there any other way to make sure what you can do in the land?
    I'm a foreigner and living in a third world poor country atm. I plan to move to Palmdale and probably live there for the rest of my life.
    And the reason I choose palmdale is that it is cheaper than LA. But I also LOVE it. The deserty theme and the lack of tall buildings and lower density of people is what I dig. It looks like a peaceful quiet place.

    I've already started checking lands on Redfin website. Is there any other sites worth taking a look? I cannot afford a full house. So I plan to buy a piece of empty land first and then build from there.

    What I'm looking for is multi-use lands where I can both live and maybe open a small retail shop or rent a business so I can have a liveable passive income before i can apply for a job.

    Thank you all!

    Best Place to Meet Some Gals?

    Staying out here for a bit, and was curious to see if there was anywhere here that was good to get back into the dating scene? Even for just a fling.

    I’m 22m, honestly kind of into older women, but looking to date it having something causal with a gal here. Know Zelda’s has a speed dating thing but I hear mixed things about that place (not that it’s bad, but that it’s not really a traditional bar).

    MISSING PERSON IN PALMDALE! GERARDO ARAIZA!

    Hi everyone, a relative of mine was last seen on October 8th 2024. His name is Gerardo "Jerry" Araiza. He is 21 years old, about 5'8, 170 lbs, and of hispanic origin. He has long brown frizzy hair, and some facial hair. I am not entirely sure if he left by himself, but we think he did by foot. He was last seen in a grey hoodie and jeans. I inserted a few pictures of him. Any information about his whereabouts would be greatly appreciated!

    Last known picture of Gerardo Araiza (at work).

    How safe is the hiking trail behind Alta Dena to shoot?

    I want to go shooting in the hiking trail behind Alta Dena and I’m not sure if I’m going to get the cops called on us. I’ve seen shotgun shells and bullets scattered around the area but if other people have done it recently please let me know

    Update: totally did it back there in the hiking trail. Encountered zero problems ;D

    How to get into Northrup / Lockheed Martin

    Question, why I keep rejected from these two companies? For the past 3-4 years I’ve applied over 50 applications and all of them get rejected, not even interview. I have experience as an area manager at Amazon for 3 years, I worked in the City for over year and have a bachelor degree. Many of the jobs I’ve seen matches my experience. I have met people randomly who work there but they only say “just apply” haha. Anyone knows the secret to get at least an interview or something? I couldn’t get hold of any recruiter. I’m also a U.S. citizen but I don’t have security clearance

    The Arches at Regional Center West Apartments

    Anyone lived there? Looking at doing the 2 bedroom for $2500. Can’t find anywhere that has availability for early December (what I need) and $2500 before utilities is my budget. Is it safe, clean, etc? Was hoping for a house but it’s impossible to get one 55 days out from when I’m moving lol. Thanks!

    Best Place for Piano/Voice Lessons?

    As the question suggests, I am enquiring about the best place in the AV to receive lessons/instruction for Piano and voice. I have tried to research myself and found multiple places with good reviews so I am hoping for some advice from people who either, have first-hand accounts and experiences, or have some information relevant to my question. I think it is worth mentioning that I am in my early 20's so programs/schools geared solely towards children would not be suited for me. Thank you in advance to everyone who responds to this post.

    Living in Palmdale as an immigrant from Myanmar?

    Hello greetings. I am from a third-world country called Myanmar. My race is Indian-descendant. I am middle class here. Not rich. I work in the Solar (Inverters, Batteries) field. But i can also build PCs.

    I need to flee the country before they force me to conscription to fight for the military junta(which everyone hates here) Already many are fleeing. You can ask me if you want to know more about the situation.

    Will Palmdale be suitable for me to live in? I have no clue on how the societal structure there is. I can only google so much.

    All i want is a peaceful place for my family to live. My little baby girl(8mo) and ofc my wife.

    What's the shorthand way of referring to a number/letter street corner?

    I visit Palmdale occasionally and wonder how locals specify any particular number/letter street corner? How would you tell someone to meet at 20th St E and E Ave K4, for example? Thanks!
