I've been looking at the stats and Vacaville shows relatively low crime stats. But stats don't always tell the full story. For people who actually live there — do you feel safe? Are there areas to avoid?
I'm especially interested in hearing from women living alone.

I've lived in Lakewood for 14 years and it's decent, has its pros and cons.

Moved here last year. No regrets. People are super nice.

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Maple Heights and Midtown are perfectly safe.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Good summary. I'd rate it higher personally — maybe 7/10.

As someone who moved here from Denver, I can confirm most of this. The friendliness of people surprised me the most.
