We've observed and KVOA Tucson has confirmed that Oro Valley is getting quite a few new homeowners from California.  Welcome, folks! Please take the time to read LOVE and learn about our town.  We are not California, which I why you are moving here. 

Quoted in the KVOA article is one new resident who advises Californians:  "If they are just done with the whole lifestyle that California has, then they should (move here), honestly," he said. Yes.
