I have been living in Rocklin for 2 1/2 years now and have been very happy here. I had been living in the Bay Area with my husband and happy there too, but we really wanted to own a nice home with a decent sized yard which is really hard to find there for under $1M. We looked all over the Sacramento area and fell in love with Rocklin. Lots of winding roads with hills and views for miles. Parks and hiking trails everywhere you go. Tons of shopping, good restaurants, and recreation. As a gay couple, I was concerned that it might be a bit too conservative here, but our Whitney Ranch neighborhood is pretty diverse and we have met some really great people. I don't have too many bad things to say, but if I had to complain about anything I would say the heat in the summer can be intense. It's typically pretty dry though which helps. Also, while it's cheaper than the Bay Area, it's no longer a bargain. I don't see us going anywhere, anytime soon! Very happy here!
Rocklin is a great town to grow up in, attend activities, or work. It has one of the best school systems in california, the teachers are patient and always make sure I am not only understanding the material but also go above and beyond by explaining concepts thatare not required by the school. During the past Covid pandemic they worked to get Rocklin students back into classrooms with peer interaction in a safe mannor. While the diversity is on the lower end, the Rocklin officials and leading members strive to create a town where all backrounds andlifestyles are appreciated. Though the most important factor is safety. Police force, Firemen, EMTs, and other first responders seek to interact with Rocklin residents make this town a safe and loving area to raise kids, attend school, be employed, or retire.
I grew up in Rocklin and I believe it was a great, family-friendly place to live as a young child. There tons of great activities to partake in with your family and friends, such as going to the water park, mini-golfing, bowling, attending seasonal fairs, and a gigantic mall with a large selection of stores. There are many local parks just minutes away from the neighborhoods that are very clean and safe, as well as lots of nature surrounding them. The neighborhoods are very safe and some even have gated communities. However, there is not a lot of diversity in the culture of Rocklin and when you venture out of Rocklin you would be surprised at how unsafe or different the reality of most communities is. Although, it does have the benefit of being safer for children and families. The only other negative factor of living in Rocklin would be affordability because if you have an average income, it is hard to find an affordable house that is big enough for a family.
