What parts of Sac to avoid. Input please

Hey Sac folks, My cousin is moving to Sacramento from texas. Her husband got a job in Davis, and I guess they are going to live in Sac.

She asked for my input but I dont really know

As far as them finding a spot, is there any areas they should absolutely avoid.

Mainly anything that looks like it would be ok but it is actually not a good spot to settle down.

Let me know, I am not very familiar with the area, so any input good or bad would be helpful.

Thanks in Advance,
Ryan

Oakpark, Meadowview, Del Paso Heights are the three highest crime areas.

Natomas has the highest foreclosures (like top 10 in the state bad), so it has the potential for the most future trouble.

Just the two of them or any kids? Or plan to have kids?

If so, would also want to take schools into thought

Yeawp. Meadowview isn't as bad as it was before, but it's still pretty bad.

Depending on what part of Natoma's it's either good or bad. Natomas is starting to get bad tho...

Honestly. If they are willing to commute just a tad bit. I would look seriously into the Roseville/Rocklin area. These places have about another 15-20 years in them I would say before they start becoming places people don't desire to live in anymore.
Most all of Sacramento is collapsing now. Davis isn't that bad but there isn't anything really of interest there.
Just have them take a look around at different places.
Stay away from the places listed thus far as well as: North Highlands, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, and surrounding areas.
These places aren't bad to live in but if they want to settle down for a while I would definitely recommend living a bit east in the Roseville area.

How do you figure? These places actually have some pretty nice areas/homes. And then there are some areas that arnt too nice, but the same could be said about Roseville/Rocklin too.

Well he said "settle down" in one of the posts he made so I made the assumption that wherever his cousin and her husband move to, they want to stay awhile.
Those places do in fact have some fairly nice places to live in. I work that whole area though and it reminds me of how Antelope used to be.
In about 5-10 years I don't think it will be a desirable place to live.
Just trying to help out a fellow I-clubber. >.<

DON'T HATE ON ME chickenlittle...

not hating, just asking to hear your reasoning behind your statement

I agree with Rocklin/Roseville. Close enough to sac, and much a good place to be right now. Personally (from experience) stay away from meadowview and natomas. Also North Highlands was a terrible idea from whoever suggested it.
