What people are saying about Solvang | |
Solvang is great for tourists, not for retirement | |
I have visited a few times and it is charming butI wouldn't live there. There isn't much to do, it is ridiculously expensive, it's a distance to get to a good hospital, and tourism makes traffic and parking challenging. It's fun to visit. One correction for the article: Santa Rosa is 350 miles north, so not quite nearby. | |
