Current Resident: Turlock has an outstanding community! Although, Covid-19 has interfered with most community outings a friendly smile awaits at local stores or friendly neighbors. There are a few issues involving homelessness in this growing city, but that is an issue which has been brought up in multiple town meetings in which I am sure they will resolve quickly. Nonetheless, Turlock is green and full of aspiring members who keep the community safe and clean.... Read 205 reviews

Current Resident: RIpon is a jewel in the Central Valley of California. It’s a small tight-knit community that is safe for raising a family. Crime is low. Schools are great. It is a little over an hour to San Francisco or Sacramento and well as the entrance to Yosemite. RIpon is growing and offering more restaurants monthly and the city is in the process of adding activities like a rock climbing gym. RIpon is a small town so you cannot expect the town to have the hustle & bustle of a big city, but it is a friendly community where people look you in the eye to say hello, even if they do not know you. I would not choose any other place in California to raise my family. Most any interest or activity people desire is close by and only a short drive away. The ACE (Altamont Corridor Express) train is expanding and will be coming to RIpon in the near future as well.... Read 77 reviews

Parent: Sidwell has provided my children with an exceptional academic experience emphasizing critical thinking and problem solving, writing and communications, and quantitative reasoning. The workload has been substantial at times, but always enriching and interesting (i.e., rarely if ever busywork) and will fully prepare students for the rigors they'll experience in college and beyond. Moreover, Sidwell has done a great job of developing my children as well informed, highly engaged, and socially conscious citizens. Strongly recommend!... Read 72 reviews

Current Resident: Beautiful ag and open lands, views of mountains, the Stanislaus River, wildlife, easy proximity to Gold Country, Yosemite and Tahoe for recreation, and to Modesto, Stockton or Turlock for jobs. People love walking and cycling here. Relaxed friendly feel. Very safe. Terrific farmstand produce but weak restaurant scene, shopping and very limited nightlife. Great place to raise a family or retire. Well regarded High School with fanatical football fans. East Oakdale is one of those rare "heaven on Earth" places.... Read 2 reviews

Current Resident: Overall Riverbank is a great city. I wish there were more family oriented places for entertainment. I love the schools and the community is always very kind and helpful. The crime rates are low and the schools are good. The restaurants are really good but we need more variety. We need a community garden and more technology in our schools. Housing is good, there are some areas that need improvements but overall the neighborhood are really nice. There are big stores like Target, save marts, kohls, etc but I feel like we don't need more retail stores. We need to expand the agriculture and farming. A lot of fields were destroyed to build houses and stores but we need to stop that. We should have more farms. .... Read 75 reviews

Current Resident: I would like to see the streets cleaned up and the homeless off the street. There are too many people not able to get work because they don't have the resources to apply, dress nice for interviews. I have had a great experience in Modesto. Our home is in the middle of town so I can get to places fast. Our neighborhood is great. We have great neighbors that watch out for us as we watch out for them. Our economy in prices is really high right now so shopping in certain places. We have to make sure that we are spending wisely and Modesto gives us a variety of places to do that. Modesto has gotten bigger but because of the pandemic we are able to still get our favorite food and take it home. We don't sit and wait at places we like. One thing I wish I could change are the attitudes in our community. There are people out there that can't understand that being friendly can get you a long way. I love going into O'Brien's which is our closest neighborhood market.... Read 544 reviews

Current Resident: We’ve lived in Newman for about 11 years now and I do feel like it considerably safe. This little town has only 2 stop lights, but is within a 30min-1 hour drive to the “larger” cities. The nearest Walmart is about 30 minutes away. There are quite a few parks for the younger kids in town, but I honestly am not sure why the nightlife is rated so high - I feel like “locally” there isn’t much for the outgoing twenty-something. Also noted as liberal location? I honestly find that hard to believe, I believe a good portion of the Central Valley rural towns are conservative. Regardless, it’s a fairly peaceful city for commuters (good paying jobs are scarce). However It does have issues with dogs roaming the streets (owner issues), animal control is always busy....

Current Resident: Merced is a pretty complex county, full of diversity and other activities. It's complex because unlike other counties in Merced we are able to express ourselves just the way we are, without having to hide the real us. It is also full of diversity because for almost every holiday before covid the people would make parades and represent their country. Other activities that are good to mention to tell other incoming people are safety and criminal activities. The best and least to say is that we can improve in that aspect.... Read 305 reviews

My experience has been great because for the past years that I've lived here nothing bad has happened to me and my family. Something I like about Winton would be that there are many people of different race. Seeing people from different race isn't the only thing I like about Winton; but in fact something else I like would be that everyone is friendly. If there was something I would like to see changed in Winton would be that it could use a cleaning and not see many homeless people in the streets.... Read 11 reviews

Current Resident: Been living here for around a year and it's a very nice, small city. I enjoy the times a go on walks, the weather is very nice and the people here are as equally as pleasant. The weather can sometimes become bad during the fall and winter, but besides that, it always seems to be sunny. Delhi's school are also great. The neighborhoods here a very peaceful and there doesn't seem to be much of a ruckus when it's night time. Your neighbors will most likely be the greatest neighbors you've ever had. Even my mother has made friends with a couple of the neighbors. There is a lot of diversity here as well. Since were in the middle of a pandemic, this city takes safety seriously. All of the stores here require you to wear masks. People who go on walks wear masks and keep their distance when they come across some when on their walk. I would definitely recommend coming to live here at Delhi, your family will have a pleasant time here.... Read 36 reviews

Current Resident: The typical small town of the Central Valley. Clean neighborhood; the streets and sidewalks do not have trash and there are clearly painted lanes. Children and pet-friendly with many playgrounds and a dog park as well. The community center offers recreational programs, opportunities, and skill classes for people of all ages. There are a soccer complex and a golf course right next to it. Many chain restaurants are available and grocery stores conveniently next to the neighborhoods. However, there is always heavy traffic and backed up ramps off the freeway around 5 pm. There are only two exits to the freeway and one is feet away from Ceres High School (very busy in mornings & afternoons). Late at night people continuously drag race or do donuts with their loud cars close to neighborhoods.... Read 127 reviews

Parent: My kids have been attending Basis since before the pandemic, and we are so impressed! Rich academic curriculum, good inclusion of the arts, excellent opportunity for differentiation based on student needs. The teachers are dedicated and so are the parents to the kids' success. While the administration has been bumpy as the school has gotten established (only 5 years old), they earned their stripes during the pandemic. Organized, safety-focused and diligent about communication. We supplement school with sports leagues and scouting outside of school, which many parents do. Easy to do given the extensive choice you have in the DC area. Also appreciate the international study body with impressively bright students from all over the world. A real meritocracy, unlike other private schools that admit based on VIP status or connections/donations. In the next few years, this school will only continue to advance its place in the rankings.... Read 51 reviews
