Do You Agree with This List of the Five Best California Cities to Live In?
When a person is moving to California, it can be tricky to find the right city to live in, partially because the state is so long, and there are so many options. We have recently reviewed this list of the five best California cities to live in. Some are right on target, but others are a surprise. Which of these cities do you think should be on the list and which should be replaced?
- Folsom, California
- Roseville, California
- San Ramon, California
- Rocklin, California
- Dublin, California
If crime is a big concern for someone, then Folsom, California might be a great choice, as it has a 42% lower crime rate than the average crime rate in the United States. The cost of living index is 3% higher than average for the state and the median income is $100,000. It is likely most well-known for the prison that Johnny Cash wrote a famous song about, but it is a very family-friendly option with more than 30 miles of biking trails and more than 45 public parks.
The crime rate here is also lower than the national average by 6% but unlike Folsom, the cost of living index in Roseville is 5% lower than the state average. The median household income is $77,000, which makes it one of the most affordable cities on the list. There are more than 70 public parks, including a splash bad for kids, and it is home to the Carnegie Museum.
A person who moves to San Ramon can enjoy a crime rate that is 58% lower than the national average, but they will pay for it with a 38% higher than average cost of living for the state. The median household income here is $130,000, but those who can afford it will appreciate the numerous golf courses, the Bishop Ranch Regional Preserve and its 444 acres, along with the many parks.
Only about 20 miles from Sacramento, Rocklin, California’s motto of “a family community,” is obvious here. The crime rate is 27% lower than the national average, the cost of living is 2% lower than the state average, and the median household income is $79,000. There is much green space here, including more than 90 acres of space in Johnson-Springview Park.
The crime rate here is 35% lower than the average city in America, but the cost of living is 27% higher than the already-high California average. The median household income is $115,000 in Dublin, California. That said, it has one of the best school districts in North California with seven 10/10 scores and another three 9/10.
