    Roseville is an amazing area to live in overall. There are nice restaurants, parks, a great mall, etc. I feel super safe here rather than any other area. They are definitely doing a great job with the area and the community is growing tremendously! I would recommend this area to anyone and everyone because I am sure they would love it as well. It’s a great area to raise children especially with all the amazing schools nearby! 10/10 would recommend!

    I like the fact that Roseville has a lot of parks. It's very safe, and there's a lot of greenery around so it doesn't feel like a concrete cage that some cities may feel like. There are some very good schools around as well. A few things that could change would be the cost of living, which is rather high, but since Roseville is in California, and California as a whole has a high cost of living, not much can be done about it, at least not very quickly. Overall, a very nice city!
    Roseville is a community. This city prices itself on creating a clean and beautiful place for all of its members to enjoy. From doing “downtown Tuesday nights” to hosting free movie nights at the local parks. There’s always something to do! Roseville is also a huge shopping community, shoes? We got it, stickers of puppies for your scrapbook? We got those too! I love living in this city!
