Where are the best towns to live in the Sacremento area?

Question

I'm planning to move there in May, and am asking for your suggestions on the safest areas. Also, are there any areas to stay out of (due to crime) ?

Answer 1

Placerville (to the east of Sacramento) is a very nice town.
Very scenic and has all the amenities you need to raise a family.
An easy run into Sac on US Highway 50.
Nestled in the Sierra Nevadas, "Old Hangtown" is not too large a city; 10,000 or so.
A good climate, the fog that afflicts Sacramento doesn't reach there.
It is also only 60 miles to South Lake Tahoe - a beautiful drive.

This is a link to the city's website, if you'd care to have a look:
http://www.ci.placerville.ca.us/default.asp
and one with a lot od statistical data on Placerville:

If Placerville is too far from Sacramento for you, Shingle Springs is a bit closer, smaller and quite rural.

Either of these places I'd consider very safe to raise a family.

Answer 2

Elk Grove community is good for families.

Best to know the specific neighborhood in the city to use the crime map site. Or you might need to have a street map of the city to get the full picture.
