First post here. Born and raised here. Crime rate is something to consider -North Valley sits at 106.2 per 100K. Average temperature is around 57--F, so the weather is moderate. Homes are going for about $290,500 on average. Household incomes average around $67,115 in North Valley. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:

- Good healthcare facilities
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Limited nightlife

- Mosquitoes and humidity
