> we'll finally have some sunshine
You will and you'll also have the chance to discover the difference between excess and moderation.
> lots of affordable fresh food
The food is either affordable or good.
> live in a house with garden
More like a house with a mandatory lawn in a region hit by a very serious drought. You might also want to ask about the rules imposed by the homeowners association and whoever rents you the house.
> beautiful nature close enough to actually go camping for the weekends
Yes, if you like deserts and you want to live in SoCal. Note that "close" has a different meaning on that side of the pond.
> friendly and approachable people
Maybe at first. With time you realize that the friendliness is a form of politeness that hides fear, distrust and greed.
