Considering Beverly vs Sacramento -help me decide

With a population of 42,408, Beverly is a smaller city. Rent is about $1,683/month for a decent place. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Has anyone dealt with this?   There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.

I've been here 7 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is solid.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Riverside side vs the Greenfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
