Anywhere in the lower Sierra Nevada sounds about right.
Stay above 1,000 feet and under 5,000.
That will reduce the smog line from Sacramento and have less 100 degree days, but under the snow line in the winter.
Placer and Nevada County. (lived 3 years)
I liked Nevada County but I was there in the late 70's

I didn't stay long enough in Calaveras but it has possibilities.

If you don't mind the rain you can go to Mendocino Co. (lived 4 years)

Trintiy is OK but the populations starts getting sparse.

And finally I really like the north parts of San Diego Co. but the cost is high. and if you go inland there is allot of days above 90.

My favorite intersection of all times.
El Camino Real and Via De La Valle. (near Del Mar)
Places I didn't really like:
L.A. Basin:Fresno:Barstow and for the most part Sacramento.

Actually it's hard to find all those amenities in cali. I live in Orange county, but I would suggest pound for pound san diego area.. Expensive living, but you can still find some areas far cheaper than LA or SF. Its fairly safe in big city standards, and its a beautiful place to live...

i live in southern ca all my life. i enjoy it and i have been to other states but ca is my home. unfortunately, all those that you state are definitely a big factor when deciding to move here. Not sure specifically, but anywhere in ca outside the big cities. ie, la, sf, sd, and sac. good luck on your decision and if you decide to come, let me the first one to say, WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA, the land of the fruits and nuts. LOL!

Stay away from Los Angeles is all I can tell you for sure. Maybe North Cali?

Forget it, you won't find a place in California that meets any of that criteria.
