Elk Grove is a perfect place for families to live. It is remotely safe. There are several parks all over the city to take your kids too and Elk Grove also has one of the largest school districts in California so there are many options for schooling. It is also only a street away from Sacramento. Elk Grove is very diverse you will see people from all different races and backgrounds, and everyone is pretty accepting of the diversity in the community. If your looking for a quiet, diverse, family-friendly city this is the place to move to!
Elk Grove is an amazing city. It is extremely diverse, rumored to be one of the most diverse cities in America! Everybody is friendly and helpful. Going anywhere in Elk Grove is a pleasure with the wonderful people at every corner. Schools are the best here and as a student at Franklin High School, I’m extremely appreciative of this opportunities Elk Grove has given me. The only complaints I would have as a resident here are the roads. The city has been working extensively on roads recently, but on Kammerer Road, there are still many potholes. As a growing car enthusiast, potholes can be a disaster to a car’s suspension, and quite uncomfortable to drive on too. Other than that, I am very pleased with the new stores opening around South Elk Grove, which is where I live. My parents moved here from San Jose with me and my older brother about 15 years ago, and we visit family in San Jose often. The difference among this city and every other one is astonishing.
Elk Grove is a quiet area with plenty of shops, restaurants and grocery stores near by. There are many schools in the area and plenty of parks. I love that I am able to take a walk through the neighborhood no matter what time of day it is and there are plenty of great places to walk. People in the area are pretty friendly and maintain the property pretty well. Elk Grove is also about 20 minutes away from midtown and about 30 minutes from Stockton. There is also easy access to two major freeways. Overall Elk Grove is a great place for a family to live especially if you have children!
