El Dorado Hills quality of life -am I missing something?

Household incomes average around $163,544 in El Dorado Hills. It's a a smaller city city with about 50,553 people. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Sprawl everywhere
- High property taxes
- Mosquitoes and humidity
