Chino, CA Whats it like? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ripnbst · 02-02-2009, 04:04 PM

So there's a job in my field that has an opening in Chino, CA. I would consider moving there (from Pittsburgh, PA) to take the job. Since lots of you guys are from Cali I thought I would ask what is that area like? Cost of living, crime, etc etc. Give me the 411.

innovation · 02-02-2009, 04:10 PM

Crime is very low. I live in chino, cost of living is somewhat high since it is California. Lots of beautiful women though. About a 40 min drive from everything. 40 mins to beach 40-60 mins to mountains. Good place to live imo

karl wasabi · 02-02-2009, 04:18 PM

I live a few mins from Chino, and I think it's a pretty cool place. I also have a few friends that live there. Weather is always awesome out here in SoCal. =)

You should move out here.

andmattsayd · 02-02-2009, 04:19 PM

chino?
or chino hills?

slamn240 · 02-02-2009, 04:22 PM

most the major shops, SP, phase2, and other good tuning shops are around chino hills if that is where your new job will be at

1five10 · 02-02-2009, 04:39 PM

You should take a visit before deciding. Just because the job is in Chino, doesn't mean you have to live there. There's a lot of cool cities in the surrounding area. It just depends on what you're in to.

k's_silvia2.0 · 02-02-2009, 06:14 PM

I lived and Chino for 10 years and its a cool place I might add.
Location is good too.

DUFFM4N · 02-02-2009, 06:15 PM

^^wow...you're alive

chino is chill....

Zero_SX · 02-02-2009, 06:56 PM

yea, chino - good. chino hills - negative.

94cc0rd · 02-02-2009, 10:51 PM

Isn't chino hills nicer than chino?

I know a couple guys that live in chino hills. Most of the areas that i've visited/driven by in chino hills has been pretty ballin. I'm not too sure about chino.

SoCal-s130 · 02-02-2009, 11:01 PM

Yes chino hills is. We are way cooler over here in chino hills.

duffman1278 · 02-02-2009, 11:12 PM

Chino hills is the rich area, Chino is the lower one. Theres nothing really wrong with Chino though, its a cool area and really close to the big freeways, shops w/e.

I'd say move down here, the weather is awsome for most of the year. So many different people too. But then again I have no idea the cities are like in PA.

1five10 · 02-03-2009, 12:03 AM

Isn't there a prison in Chino? It smells like cow shit over there, too. It's funny because people who live there walk around as if they can't smell anything. I remember going to a BBQ there and didn't eat anything because it smelled like cow shit. lol

pink godzila · 02-03-2009, 12:31 AM

Chino Hill is pretty nice place to live in also they just open up a new shopping center on Grand and forgot the street call... also a nice 99 ranch market that doesn't smell like other chinese supermarket.

240sxdb · 02-03-2009, 01:11 PM

The cow shit smell is still mildly there...my buddy lives in chino hills so i'm there quite often. Good place to move to, and like the previous post said, they just built and are still building a bunch of shit there

yeah my boy lived over ther for a few years. smells bad at night. lots of flies... but thats Chino

Chino Hills... much nicer but really depends on which area you decide to live in.

Every city has a ghetto.

SR20DET KOUkI S14 · 02-03-2009, 09:07 PM

chino doesnt smell as much only if you going towards dairy like off eculid and kimball but other than that there a bunch of warehouses then its mostly houses and stores.

chino hills is way nicer we be balling over here, houses are a grip though any where from half a mil and up my house is 1 mil right now i have a couple friends who live in the vallano a nice new nieghborhood with a golf course there houses are like 1.5 and above always see some nice cars, maseriates, r35 a silver one, ferrai from time to time, bmws every day shit is chill plus its like the 16 safest city in CA

yea thats true chino hills has los seranos one of the worst part of chino hills, losts of drug dealers live there

¹²³Klan™ · 02-03-2009, 09:16 PM

Friends live in chino hills off carbon canyon road etc.
Just alot of white people there, emo/hipster kids who have nothing better to do than do drugs.

Move somewhere closer to los angeles, itll keep you busy and have stuff to do.

I live near hollywood and Ive actually been to clubs where people from chino etc go too and like wtf who spends 50 minutes to go to a club?

That should show you how boring it is to live out there.

ripnbst · 02-04-2009, 09:59 AM

Damn, 50 mins is a looong drive home from a club when your half gone at 2 in the AM.

Thanks for all the input guys, I wasnt sure what to expect for response.

P.S. Effin' A right Steelers.

well yeah...because when u go to a place that has cows...its gonna smell like cows

honestly though, u get used to it...and its not as bad as what it used to be a few years ago with people selling the farmland and new housing construction in the area

Zero_SX · 02-05-2009, 01:51 AM

I live in CH. Honestly, I don't like it, I'd much rather live in Chino. There's something wrong with the cops and everybody seems like they are better than everybody else. Chino has a real PD that knows what they're doing. Like someone said earlier, really low crime.

I stopped noticing the cow smell too, haha.

Let me know if you go to chino and need a room mate haha

Every city has a ghetto.

not every city, look at san marino. to live in the ghetto area you gotta have enough money to buy a million+ dollar home.

no idea how chino is but if its in San Bernadino area i think that area kind of Sux. mostly cause theres more dirt than i would like to see but like five10 ray said, you should check out the area before moving out here.

everyone has different preferences, maybe the heat will be unberable for you, who knows.

SochBAT · 02-05-2009, 02:23 AM

come live in Pomona!

northern pomona is nicer. Cops do cop stuff, ie drugbust, house calls, shooting gangsters, the regular shit. They don't waste their time pulling over cars with no bumpers or hoods (me).

The cops are nice. One time, me and 2 other buddies were leaving my house to work on a car. I was in the back. No seats, no seatbelts. we got rolled, he asked if we had drugs, where we came from and where we were going. After seeing we weren't from the druggie part, he looked at me and said "Hang on for dear life." and chuckled.

GG.
