Rent vs buy in Granite Bay -what makes sense?
Random thought, Median household income is $190,000, which feels pretty solid for the area.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is traffic. the quality of life is solid. Worth doing your research before committing.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Phoenix about 9 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good internet infrastructure
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are established, gas is average.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Happy to answer more specific questions..
