Housing in Smithville compared to Sacramento

First post here. I'm a 40-year-old social worker and Rent is about $1,477/month for a decent place. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Anyone in a similar situation? Appreciate any input.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from Tampa and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Maple Ridge. It's pretty good for what you get.

Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in finance. If you're in finance you might struggle.

People: Generally average. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Used to live on the Oak Park side, now on the Uptown side. Completely different vibe. it's been a really good experience overall.
