Moving to Sacramento CA, any suggestions on where I should be living?

Hey all, I just got a new job in Sacramento. Cali, here I come!

I am looking to rent a place out there and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on where I should be living. I visited there 2 weeks ago did not have much time to find any hot spots.

I would either like to live somehwhere with a great social scene, or a suburb between Sac town and SanFran with cheaper rent.

What do you NorCal peeps think?

Roseville or Antelope.

I live in Antelope and I love it. Its only 15mins to downtown Sac but I'm not sure where exactly you will be working. If you do work downtown, one alternative is the newer parts of Natomas which is 5 mins from downtown Sac.

agreed on new parts of natomas.

theres also some development when i live in the greenhaven area. might be out of your price range but its around 10-15 from downtown. west sac might be cheap albeit ghetto...

sacramento has a social scene? news to me

as for suburbs on the way to frisco, well...you could try davis (town that houses the university of california @ davis, about 20 minutes west of Sac)...pretty social from late september thru june w/ all the college kids but pretty ghost townish during the summer...rent isnt horribly expensive there if u live on the outskirts and the commute isnt that bad

not much of a scene in sac anymore...still a tad bit of underground around, but all has died in the last 5 years.....

as for somewhere nice to live-rosevile,folsom,rocklin, and el dorado hills all are nice places to live(but they are the most expensive as well).....nicest place on a budget would be roseville...good luck! : )

agreed...the scene in sac died in 2002.

The clubs consist now of hip hop, alcoholics, and fights. There are a couple clubs that play EDM but its mostly mainstream house mixed in with top40 (yuck, same as playing a newer MoS cd). I won't club in Sac anymore..I go to SF mainly, and SoCal if there is a major event.

ugh....it looks like I won't get to party much.

I was thinking about leasing a place in Fairfield or Vacaville. Rest is decent and at least I'll be closer to SF.

Anyone think this is a bad idea?

Vacaville is like 45-50 minutes to clubs in SF. That's not too bad. You can live in the city, don't have a car, have to take the buses and shit, and take that long to get to al cub between the waiting for the bus/train, taking the bus/train, then walking to the club.

I love Vacaville. A somewhat popular suberb, with the none-too-populated feel while close to the major city. Note, it gets fucking HOT there. Then again, it gets FUCKING HOT everytwhere outside the city or Pacifica.

if you REALLY want to live cheap, check out woodland. sure its boring, but they have excellent mexican food popular among UCD students who want to live cheap and like yolobus lol

I'm so excited to be out on the west for this LP party in SF, and PvD night.

I'm working as a Plant Engineer for Granite Construction in Rancho Cordova.

Back to apartment hunting...

Natomas

Hey, whats up!
I live in Natomas and it is awesome. There are tons of new homes, town houses, condos, and apartments. Also Natomas is 15 to 30 mins closer to SF than Roseville, Rocklin, Eldarado Hills, and Folsom. If you are going to be working in Rancho you would not want to buy a house in Roseville or Rocklin because you would be in traffic 2 hours a day. Also if you like basketball Arco Arena is only minutes away. Hope this was some help!!!!!

Anyone with any comments or sugestions on nice apartment complexes?

Looking at $900-$1200/month.

Thanks!

i think that is a really dumb idea. i work in vacaville. it is more expensive than the sac suburbs AND it's more in the middle of nowhere. i would hardly say it's close to san francisco (60 miles and there is always traffic at some point in the drive). fairfield is all military type people, and it's older and not as nice.

if i were you, i'd live in sac. IMO, being in a city is always better than being in a suburb. easier to meet people and stuff.

Hey SacTAs,

I live in Natomas at Adagio. I have no friends so if anyone wants to hit the bars or roll a blunt and talk/mix music, PM me.

Peace
