Current Resident: Currently, Folsom is developing with a demographic and political shift as we had many new residents from the S.F. Bay Area joining us. It has many hiking trails and excellent schools. There is an Intel branch, Micron, and future Samsung site. Safe Credit Union and Power School headquarters are in Folsom. Housing prices are much lower and newer than the SF Bay Area. City government is promoting cultural diversity celebrating Diwali, Dia de los Muertos, Hanukkah, etc.. Folsom Chinese Heritage Museum is expected to be opened in 2026 that will explain Chinese history in Folsom.... Read 138 reviews

Current Resident: It is a very suburban, less diverse town. People are friendly, you will see kids playing, the nature is amazing and healthy. The nature may be one of my favorite things here as everything looks very beautiful and maintained. As a person of color, I do feel like I do not belong that much in this area, and I would like to see more persons of color living here. I would also like to see more job opportunities for those under 18.... Read 165 reviews

Current Resident: Overall, it's pretty nice to live here, it's just that there's not much to do in Gold River itself--there's plenty things to do outside the neighborhood, and it's relatively close to stores and whatnot, but everything is usually 10 minutes away, if not further.

Current Resident: Rocklin is an overall nice quiet town. The benefits of everything being near especially if one lives in a neighborhood by the school is extremely high. The roads in and around Rocklin tend to be large and newer depending which part of town one is in. I have enjoyed my time here so far, the 4 stars is because there is always room for improvement. Most of the accidents tend to be either from high school students or middle-age drivers. The driving safety is overall very high, however people can become too relaxed and not pay attention....

Current Resident: West Sacramento is a growing community on the other side of the Sacramento River. Through the years, I've watched the suburbs of West Sacramento expand exponentially and consequently met a handful of new people each year. Through my early years, many living in neighborhoods were parents with young children, which fostered a close-knit community of families and children. These communities have stayed strong. However, the influx of people moving into our city allowed me to meet a diverse group of people, whether it was a family from Nebraska or Russia. I enjoy the growth and community within my city. Regarding change, the city is very industrial and has little to offer with attractions or entertainment. The city council should now prioritize the well-being of their residents now that our population has drastically increased in the past decade.... Read 107 reviews

Current Resident: Rancho Cordova is the city I live in! I moved here back in 2019 and didn't have much of a community around me. Soon I actually started going to the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Temple in Mather, which is the next little area over, and I started to build a community! I am very appreciative of Rancho Cordova, as it supports almost anything and everyone. This city is very safe and extremely welcoming. One thing I would maybe change is the whole HOA thing, as it does make people pay extra, but I am guessing that it is what it is! Rancho Cordova is still growing and it has far to go, but I am hoping that it becomes an extremely successful community and city!... Read 191 reviews
