Working remotely from Rancho Cordova — my experience
I've been working remotely from Rancho Cordova for 15 years now. Here's my take:
The pace of life here is perfect for remote work. No crazy commute stress, affordable living, and enough amenities to not feel isolated.
Cost of living: a bit high but manageable
Internet: Decent, getting better with new providers
Coworking spaces: Limited but the library works in a pinch
If you're looking for a place to WFH, Rancho Cordova is a solid choice.

Check out the Southside area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Old Town and Cedar Hills are perfectly safe.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is drive around neighborhoods at different times before committing. Makes a big difference.

Respectfully disagree about the safety concerns. In my experience, there are good opportunities if you network.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.
