Moving to Citrus Heights for work -advice?

Curious what people think. We have two kids and Median household income is $77,167, which feels about average for the area. Average temperature is around 61--F, so the weather is moderate. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Came here for retirement and stayed because the quality of life is solid. The pet-friendliness is honestly solid and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a project manager who relocated here from Charlotte about 10 years ago. The main reasons were school and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Diverse dining options
- Strong sense of community

Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Limited entertainment options

Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are wild, gas is tough.

Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Bought a house here in 2024 and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
