Wow, I'm suprised at the positive comments about Sac lol. I'm from here and went to college in Davis, and moved back due to some crazy circumstances. I hate it here lol. It's boring and housing is super expensive! They also cut back on police (which is everywhere) so crime has skyrocketed, even in "decent" neighborhoods. If you do move here, I say look in Greenhaven/Pocket Area (NOT MEADOWVIEW) and Natomas (NOT near Power Balance Pavilion). Those areas are somewhat safer. Stay away from Meadowview, Oak Park, some parts of Rancho Cordova, West Sacramento, Florin, and Fruitridge! Elk Grove is also nice, but housing is super expensive, and the crime has really gone up.

There isn't much to do as far as big name venues. Sometimes the Power Balance Pavilion (aka Arco Arena) gets good shows, but usually the good concerts are in the Bay Area. There's the movies, a couple "malls" (Arden and Roseville Galleria are the best), and a few things for kids like water parks and the zoo. To me, downtown Sacramento is a tad depressing after you go there a lot. The downtown mall is big, but empty, and Old Sacramento is okay. The best shopping is in Roseville or Vacaville, which is about 45 minutes either way. There are amusement parks in the Bay Area, which is about 1-2 hours away. I think it depends on what you're looking for in a city.

I think once the thrill of being in a new town is gone, you might dislike it lol. Feel free to message me if you need more advice!

@misssydneyj: lol, you couldnt pay me to move to Natomas.

Nicer places to live besides Sacramento Sacramento, Davis, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, Roseville.

If you need to live in Sacramento- Carmicheal, Fair Oaks, Midtown.

I live in the florin area right now, which isn't that bad, but for raising kids not what we would prefer.
