Nearly perfect 0 rating By Sarahza19 ( May 26, 2016) I'm lucky to be living here in Fallbrook with my boyfriend and our 2 weimaraners. It's a small, charming little town, somewhat cut off from the rest of San Diego county. As the saying goes, "you don't arrive in Fallbrook by accident." However, the most painfully inconvenient feat ...Read More ure of this town is the fact that almost all of Fallbrook lacks sidewalks! Walking my dogs is non negotiable for me, especially the 6 month old who is still in training. I walk through extremely narrow dirt footpaths next to the barely there shoulder of the road, and sometimes I have no choice but to walk on the road itself. I've fallen and tripped countless times from walking on the dirt and uneven ground. And at night when it's a new moon, I don't go for a walk at all. My walks have to take place in the daytime, as a matter of safety. There are also no street lamps, so think pitch black. I can't see where I'm putting my foot down and decided after the last time I went for a walk after dark that I really can't do this again because of how dangerous it is. This is the first town I've walked in and honestly been afraid of getting hit by a car. I am sure Fallbrook will continue to improve and develop. But for now it's a frustrating experience to have to walk my dogs like this. I don't know why incorporating sidewalks for the people of this town was overlooked. But I hope that changes soon.

The Good, Bad and Ugly. Something for everyone. 3.5 rating By David Bannerman ( Mar 23, 2014) Been here since 1999 and overall I like it. It has a small country town feel and not too much crowding. The traffic for the Camp Pendleton workers tend to keep Mission Ave busy at times. But its a trade off, since living behind the base and all of the undeveloped land gives you l ...Read More ots of views of hills and mountains. Its gonna be a bit milder in temps here, about 10 degree's milder than Temecula area. The crime and undesirable gang bangers are here and pretty much everywhere in SoCal, but SDCo Sheriff is all over them here. Its overall a safe place, except around the low rent apartment areas. Lots of young new boot camp recruits. Fights, drinking, drugs, gang bangers. Stay away from these bad streets: Clemmens Ln, Alturas St., Aviation Rd, Ammunition Rd, the bario of South Vine St, and Old Stage Rd. Less trouble than other cities by far, but these streets are the worst of Fallbrook. If your a Fallbrook High School student you will experience the large gang banger types. Recommend home school or Temecula for alternatives. Seems to be a bad area for fires also. We have had 2 major fires since 1999. Last fire we had to evacuate the whole town for a week. It was bad. Great place to live if you got the money. But not so good if your living in an apartment. Read Less
