To which California town do the Byers family and Eleven move in season 4 of "Stranger Things"?

The story behind the answer

The Byers family and Eleven move to Lenora Hills, California, in season 4 of "Stranger Things." The relocation follows the apparent death of Jim Hopper and the Byers family's desire for a fresh start away from Hawkins.

Lenora Hills is where Eleven, Will, and Jonathan attend school, and where Eleven struggles with homesickness, isolation, and bullying. Mike Wheeler visits during spring break, shortly before Dr. Sam Owens takes Eleven to a secret Nevada facility to help restore her powers.

The California storyline eventually connects back to the central conflict in Hawkins. Mike, Will, Jonathan, and Argyle search for Eleven, while Joyce and Murray pursue a separate rescue mission after learning that Hopper survived. Lenora Hills is sometimes shortened to Lenora in summaries, but Lenora Hills is the specific town name used in the series and its season-four descriptions.
