A better way is: 'Diversity and having so many options were not a familiar aspect in my life until I moved from Mexico to California.' And yes,using aspect is fine.

'aspect' may not be the best word here but it works. There is also the problem of naming 2 'aspects' but using the singular aspect. I think you need to change 'aspect in' to 'aspects to'. I like 'in my life' better than 'to my life', but I am not sure "in" is a proper preposition with aspect.

How about:

"Diversity and variety weren't familiar aspects to my life until I moved to California."

"Diversity and variety weren't familiar themes in my life until I moved to California."
