Moving to Rocklin with kids -good idea?

Been meaning to ask this. With a population of 72,340, Rocklin is a smaller city. Poverty rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. The unemployment rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $673,300 on average. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Am I overthinking this? The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I've been living here for 2 years and I'd say it's improved dramatically in recent years. The community vibe is improving compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. it exceeded my expectations. Compared to San Diego it's pretty good.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is walkability. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've been living here for 15 years and I'd say there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The healthcare is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
