Whutcha think 'bout Lake Havasu City?

[TundraBear]

well i'm a born and raised city boy from los angeles. got a 3½ and a 1½ year old and was tooling with the idea of relocating.

i've liked havasu as a tourist, but was wondering if there is any local folks from there on this board. or anyone for that matter that can share some advise. i have a potential business plan, so my focus is mainly on first hand info of people and life. i don't party anymore, so i'd stay away from the water on the 3 busy weekends, but what else is there?

i've been reading information from Stats about all US cities - relocation info, maps, race, income, photos, education, crime, weather, houses, etc. and other places like their chamber of commerce. i'm planning a trip up there in the next month or so to try and get a "feel" for the place, but any info/advise is appreciated.

thanks!

Think depending on what type of work you do for a living it might be tough to find work there.

1st of have you been to city data forum? very good site for info.
Currently Havasu is in the searing hot period, traffic is light and life is pretty good.
The other season is spring break and things get a tad crazy. The next season is snowbird and then traffic gets tangeled up accidents occur and life is not so good.
The good thing is there is a home depot, Lowes and a new shopping center being built North of Home depot, supposed to be a car dealer row and such there as well.
Mohave Community college has a campus there and the hospital is a pretty good one.
There is a good mix of industrial business's as well.
Havasu is in my service area so I am down there at least once a week.

thanks! i think we're changing our minds and will stay in los angeles a while longer. the business venture i had may not be best suited for us as originally anticipated.
