If your heart is set on Sac, look into the area near Mercy General Hospital on J Street. Lots of cool, older homes on tree lined streets. If you move closer to downtown, you'll be seeing more homeless like any big city. If you don't care about living in mid or downtown Sac, look into Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Granite Bay like others have suggested. Homes are realy cheap even in those high rent locations now. Lastly, El Dorado Hills is one of my favorites as it's not flat but traffic on HWY 50 sucks. Actually, traffic on I-80 sucks pretty bad now too. Sac has become like a little LA. Can get smoggy and plenty of fake boobs, Hummers, MBs and BMWs.

I used to live in Elk Grove but I still go to Sac at least weekly. Let me know if you want to know anything else. Oh yeah, Go Kings (but they suck now too)!
