Crime rate is something to consider -University of California-Davis sits at 126.6 per 100K. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good job market
- Diverse community
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
- Mosquitoes and humidity
