Let me know in the comments below if you like Rocklin or Folsom better!!
Roseville is the way to go. Rocklin has pg&e and you can save hundreds a month on electricity along
@@Truth24434yes & antelope. Smud is good & the electric bill becomes non-existent with a solar on the roof. I don’t like rocklin as there are more dogs in the park than children. This area is more family oriented.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Roseville definitely has its perks, especially when it comes to energy savings. Every little bit helps!
Rocklin wins easily as newer shopping and better new restaurants
Recently moved to Folsom after 45 years in Fair Oaks. We considered EL Dorado Hills just a few miles east. We chose Folsom because it's in Sacramento County and electricity is provided by SMUD (gas is P.G.E.) El Dorado and Placer Counties have strictly P.G.E. and their rates are outrageous. I know for a fact that in both Counties it's common to have power bills at or over $1000
a month. If you're moving to the Sacramento Area buy in Sacramento County and you won't enrich P.G.E.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s always helpful to hear from someone who’s made the move. Folsom really does have its perks, especially with SMUD!
That is not completely true! Roseville (in Placer County) is on Roseville Electric!
@@hopespringseternal2624 Sorry1 I stand corrected.
PG&E sucks
I live in Roseville. For electricity we do NOT have PGE. We have Roseville Electric. SMUD electric is approximately 1/2 the rate of PG&E. Roseville Electric is lower than SMUD. We do also have PG&E for gas. We moved from the east coast to Roseville for several reasons with one of these being that Roseville has its own, and relatively new, electrical utility with the best rates as compared to both PG&E and SMUD.
Folsom wins for me 8 out of 10 times! Less traffic, nature trails, Folsom lake, SMUD versus only PG&E, all the shopping, and the old historic Folsom district is a fantastic spot for date night!
Less traffic on 50? 🤣🤣
My sister lives in Rocklin. I’ve learned to really appreciate the area. I live in South SF Bay Area. If my sisters place was where I live it would easily be 3X to 5X the price. My only complaint is summer heat. Overall seems like great place to live.
The Bay Area is one of the most expensive places to live. Rocklin is a much better deal for sure.
July and August do get hot. The other 10 months are close to perfect IMO.
Beautiful homes & great video. Very informative!!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Two top cities in the Sacramento metro for sure.
Wouldnt the shear amount of development in elk grove and folsom ranch cause the traffic to go up within 5 years on 50? Especially if they have all the shopping and entertainment planned. Thats why i moved to auburn. I dont go past the 65 . No traffic ever 😅 auburn wins hands down for me.it feels like many from the bay area are moving to Sacramento area.everything boils down to how much you can spend on your house. These are the cities people want to live in when i talk to them here in san jose when thinking of moving to the sac area. from the number 1 spot. Granite bay , El Dorado hills, placerville , auburn , folsom lake , Roseville, elk grove . Not many know about rocklin. Its not on their radar.lincoln is gaining traction especially for the 55 sec. Elk grove is for sure entry level accessibility price point for young people starting a family.
Totally get what you mean! Traffic can be a nightmare, and it sounds like you found the perfect spot in Auburn! I’ve heard a lot of folks from the Bay Area are looking at the Sac area, so it’s gonna be interesting to see how it all shakes out!
A lot of detailed information, thank you!
Please double check on this "Whitney High School in Rocklin is not the one ranked #2 in California-that distinction goes to Whitney High School in Cerritos."
great catch....blurring that part out ;)
Rock l in rocks best school and best police department
Rocklin is pretty amazing and I love those schools
Mark did you see the old fry's electronics is being developed by LaterrA land development. They also bought the one in San Jose they're going to be multi business complexes and there's possibly a tech company going in at the 1 on Northgate boulevard. You also have the medical school going in at the old arco arena. I don't know if you've been here recently but the amount of people pouring in and through natomas is insane... They're also starting to put in new businesses on Northgate boulevard some of the old businesses are closed and they're being rehabbed.
People don't realize it's a diamond in the rough because we're close to downtown close to golden One Centee. Raley field ...now you have the Giants the A's and the River Cats all in 1 place😊. Live ⚾️ there is so much to do over here.
The river, the restaurants just a totally cool vibe.
lots of places to ride your bike. you sit in a hub of all the freeways and medical centers.
Starting to see traveling nurses pouring in here looking for places they can turn into Or build editions multiple units because they're renting to other traveling nurses. The house that sold for $720 in July was bought by a traveling nurse and I went and spoke to the new owner.
she was fabulous she gave me some insider information about the traveling nurses coming in here and they like it here because they can go in any direction as a traveling nurse and hit any of the hospitals and care centers and they get paid a fortune through the traveling nurses programs. They're making out like bandit she's making a $100 an hour.
Trying to figure out where all of these people are coming from we have lost count of the amount of people we see everyday over in this area.😊 It's completely underrated.
How does west Roseville stack up with these 2? Lots of new development there with the plus of being close to all the Roseville amenities
West Roseville's price point for a home is more affordable than Folsom and Rocklin. Also being close to Roseville shopping and so much future development planned for that area.....pretty solid outlook.
You cant go wrong with Rocklin, Folsom, or Roseville.
Absolutely! Each of those places has its own charm and appeal. It really depends on what you're looking for in a community!
Folsom and Rocklin are both great choices!!
For sure! Folsom and Rocklin are awesome spots! You can’t go wrong with either one!
Folsom paid this guy. He's talking like 50 isn't a parking lot during traffic hour. Shopping in rocklin is way better than folsom. Folsom has the palladio and town center. That's 10% of the shopping in rocklin roseville, which is basically the same place. Folsom is nice, i prefer rocklin. Been in sac for over 40 years.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! It's always interesting to hear different opinions about the area, especially from someone with such experience in Sacramento.
Can you do Roseville vs Natomas vs Elk Grove?
coming soon ;)
We moved to Roseville 5 years ago. Familiar with Natomas and Elk Grove. Roseville by far is the best IMO. We have Roseville Electric , the lowest electric rates compared to both PGE and SMUD. Excellent schools. Home insurance rates very reasonable especially when compared to numerous other places such as El Dorado Hills. Excellent and transparent city government. You can attend via zoom city meetings concerning your area including city planning for parks and schools. Plenty of good restaurants and things to do for kids and adults. Lots of great city parks. They are forward thinking and widening roads strategically to account for the phenomenal growth due to being a high demand area.
See my comment about Natomas. Been here 35 years. Old natomas off Northgate has big yards . See my comments there's a lot going on over here that people don't know about that's being done some of it's already done and some of it's coming... Lots of new projects gonna be happening people just need to call the city in the county and they can tell you what's going on I tend to do a lot of research so I actually called land development companies that have bought places to find out what they're doing with it. Have any questions I can answer it
EDH
It’s hard not to love El Dorado Hills
To comfortably afford a $500,000 house, you'll likely need an annual income between $125,000 to $160,000, As of Dec 24 the average annual salary in Rocklin is $47,235 that means that average person or couple would not be able to qualify. This is very bad. Also with the projected 5% growth that would knock pretty much everyone's income of the list by mid 2026😓...................There are currently no jobs in these areas for anyone to afford any of those home. Even a dual income is very hard to afford plus bills plus prop tax plus car payment ect going up every year. these homes will keep you working until your 100 years old to pay it off.
Thank you for sharing your insights! It's important for potential movers to be aware of these financial realities before making such a big decision.
@@SacramentoRealEstate I am not sharing this to be helpful to buyers. I am sharing this to let everyone know what a joke these homes are and the people selling them are very predatory just to make a sale . So they do not purchase these garbage investments. WTF
Multiply everything by 3 and you have where I live in San Jose area. Rocklin is good value
Yeah i just sold my house in san jose and bought in auburn. All my neighbors are from the south bay. That's who's buying all these house.
Folsom has become nothing more then traffic since they added all the housing South of Folsom.
traffic is getting bad on E. Bidwell
Do Arden-Arcade/carmichael, top schools. Close to everything, top neighborhoods but can butt up to not as nice neighborhoods.
Video coming your way in the near future. Love those area and you are spot on. Which one do you like better?
@SacramentoRealEstate I live in Arden/Arcade. Garden of the gods. It's a hidden gem with homes in the 500/600k range.
@@BlakeCunningham that is on my video list in 2025! love that area ;)
We have the best schools in Rocklin , and when getting my coffee I’m surrounded by wealth , no bums. And homeless get took to jail here. We love our town
It's great to hear how much you love Rocklin! The community and schools can make such a difference in the quality of life.
Horrible! Taking the homeless to jail? That is sick!
@@hopespringseternal2624 there has to be a better solution for sure. As a country we can do better.
It’s a great place. We have thousands of Bumbs where I live in San Jose area. We pay exorbitant prices only due to tech geek stock options. It is refreshing to visit my sister in Rocklin. It reminds me of 1980’s CA when life was simpler and better
Don’t choose folsom 😂
not a big fan of Folsom?
why
PG&E vs SMUD is a HUGE thing to consider. PG&E is incredibly expensive. Also, Hwy 65 is hot garbage so living off of I80 (not “the” 80) is your best bet.
Absolutely, PG&E can really hit the wallet hard! It's definitely worth considering energy costs when choosing where to live. And I totally agree about Hwy 65-traffic can be a real headache!
I guess PG&E is part of the lifestyle bro!
@@Royalewithcheesee i wish there were additional options for sure...but Rocklin is pretty amazing.
Please move to Rocklin, we in Folsom are tired of the crouds..lol
Rocklin iss getting packed also
Did you even mention that Hwy 80 goes to Tahoe, also? And it is an easier drive to Tahoe than Hwy 50 is. Stopped watching this after about 1/2 way through.
Thanks for pointing that out! Highway 80 does have its perks when heading to Tahoe. I'll make sure to include more details in the future!
Good info for those new to the area, but the corny "EXPOSED" and "BEWARE" clickbait terms are ridiculous.
I'll try to tone down the clickbait in the future!
too expensive and bad traffic there now and too far away from downtown
You bring up some valid points! The cost of living and traffic can be challenging in the area. It's always good to weigh the pros and cons before making a move.
@@SacramentoRealEstate why I bought closer to downtown as I knew we would be called back downtown after the pandemic and did not want long commute.
Can you speak from investor point of view (looking at next 10 years) on which is more better between folsom ranch and whitney ranch.
Folsom because it has the three things my investors look for short term rentals, long term rentals and appreciation. Rocklin is amazing for a primary but rentals it is further away from businesses and downtown.
also depends on the property and location of either ;)
The whitney high you reference is in Southern California. The Whitney high in rocklin is far from a top program
Schools are definitely subjective but here’s a link to great schools.org where it gets a 9 out of 10. www.greatschools.org/california/rocklin/14607-Whitney-High-School/
whitney rocklin is a highly ranked school, folsom high more for sports not really academics
@@gwuengr2 don't forget Vista and there wicked Lacrosse Program ;)
you are correct...blurring that out now
How about stop moving to rocklin and overpopulating it please go to Folsom plenty of land out there
I hear you! It’s important to consider the impact of population growth on these areas. Folsom definitely has some great space to offer!
