Best neighborhoods in Placerville

The median home value here is around $450,600, which is pretty steep. Average temperature is around 60--F, so the weather is moderate. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. What would you do? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Midtown. It's pretty good for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in marketing. If you're in legal you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've lived in Midtown for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The public transit scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. Hope this helps!.

Weather-wise, the summers are hit or miss and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.
