• Neighborhood in Sacramento, CA

Niche User: There is a lot of farm land near this area. Elkhorn road separates the residence are and the farm land. Which means it can get really windy because the area is open. In the summer, it's a good thing so that when the temperature gets to 90 degrees it wont't be too hot because of the wind. I like this area better than where we used to live before. It was really crowded and noisy because of the elementary school. This area much better. It's more open and streets are wide too. It's peaceful.

Natomas Park

• Neighborhood in Sacramento, CA
• 29

Current Resident: Natomas Park is an absolutely beautiful place to live. With numerous schools, parks , bike paths, shopping centers, and even a community college, it is one of the most beautiful places to live. Just fifteen minutes south is downtown Sacramento and the new Golden 1 arena, home of the Sacramento Kings. Fifteen minutes north is Sacramento airport and Sacramento River. The community itself houses people of every ethnicity! We are a very warm and welcoming community! It retains the true feel of Sacramento living without any of the rush associated with big city life.

Torrey Highlands

Current Resident: Just your average 'burb. Good schools, right next to Westview High School, lots of families, but kind of far from the real fun in Downtown or even just La Jolla. But very accessible because the 56 Highway is right there.

Imperial

• Town in California
• 35

Current Resident: It's a nice little town where everyone knows everyone and most people are always willing to help out a neighbor. Imperial has an amazing high school and great elementary schools. There are rarely any crimes and it's a great place to raise a family. New houses are always being built and there are some very nice parks for kids. Houses are affordable and there are plenty of apartment complexes for lower income families. I would say there is a good amount of diversity and this is a place where people of different race, religion, and sexuality can live in comfort. You can find necessities easily as stores and schools are relatively close together. There are good job opportunities here and new businesses open up every year.

There are many things to do there, like participating in community events like fun runs and the annual July 4th fireworks show. You can also climb Black Mountain as a source of exercise. It has a maximum elevation of 1,500 feet.

Pacific Highlands Ranch

• Neighborhood in San Diego, CA

Niche User: I live in a very wonderful area and I have access to everything I need. It's a fairly wealthy and very clean area. The only aspect of this area that I do not like is how superficial some people are; there are a lot of plastic surgeons who get lots of business around here and it is a little off-putting how fake people's bodies are and sometimes their personality matches that superficiality.

Natomas Creek

• Neighborhood in Sacramento, CA
• 7

Niche User: Although Sacramento has a less than glamorous reputation in comparison to SF or the Bay Area, after living here for over 13 years I can confidently say that there is a certain beauty to Sac. Be that in it's rich history found in downtown with the railroad museum or Old Sac which has been excellently preserved for public viewing. Sacramento is neither progressing or regressing, more of just staying the same which is not a bad thing, but isn't a good thing either. It has the potential to be better in terms of atmosphere and safety (cleanliness of public areas).

Gold River

• Suburb of Sacramento, CA
• 45

Current Resident: Gold River is a great place for families and a great place to spend time. There are many places to eat and quite a bit of things to do, being able to walk to everything is helpful and allows for some good exercise too. The school is very close to all homes as well as Gold River Racquet Club, which isa great place to get to know others, play tennis, swim, workout, and do other club activities. Having everything so close to you like food and entertainment is something many many small suburbs do not offer, but Gold River sets themselves apart from the rest.

Seal Beach

• Suburb of Los Angeles, CA
• 35

Current Resident: I have nothing but positive things to say about my town! Small town beach community with the convenience of being centrally located between Orange County and Los Angeles. Schools are top notch and the community very close knit that offers many events. Our tiny Main Street and surrounding shopping centers have amazing options for restaurants and bars. Cost of living is a little higher than average but the benefits of living close to the beach make up for the extra costs.

Ridgecrest

Current Resident: I love my hometown as it has a very rich and unique culture. I love the outdoors and it is guaranteed warm and sunny in Ridgecrest year round. There are local and community treasures like farmer's markets, local fair's, arts and crafts events and safe family parks and a dog park! The community is very outdoorsy and most in the city go out on the weekends either off-roading, camping or hiking.

Gateway West

Niche User: I used to live in South San Francisco and it was very tight and crowded. It made me just a tiny bit anxious. In the area where I currently live, there is much more open space for me to see and take in. The place calms down my nerves and lets me unwind feel very free.

Carmel Mountain Ranch

• Neighborhood in San Diego, CA
• 11

Current Resident: I have lived in Carmel Mountain Ranch my entire life. The community is very tight-knit, especially during the holidays. For example, Christmas light shows and street festivals are well-known. Also, the CMR plaza has everything regarding shops. There are grocery and clothing easily accessible. These stores also allow for job opportunities for everyone, including teen-friendly jobs. What could be improved, however, is the street lighting and conditions. There are certain roads that are in need of redoing and residential streets that could use more lights for night driving.
