Anyone else feel this way? I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Household incomes average around $61,222 in Roseville. The unemployment rate is 4.6%, which is about average. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. What would you do? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Public transit is underrated here. You'll probably need a car for most things. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a data analyst who relocated here from Tampa about 15 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Active local events and festivals
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Can feel isolated
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are developing, gas is improving.
Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. Definitely worth checking out..

Used to live on the Pine Hills side, now on the Downtown side. Completely different vibe. I love the pace of life here.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are pretty good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
