The verdict
Mixed · 62Commenters are genuinely split: they like the neighborhoods, weather-adjacent scenery and community ties, but repeatedly flag homelessness, heat, fog and a lack of late-night life.
- quiet suburban neighborhoods
- schools and parks
- near mountains and foothills
- long-term community ties
- affordable relative to California
- cheap electricity in Roseville
- homelessness
- summer heat
- early nightlife shutdown
- traffic and red light cameras
- airport noise in Natomas
- tule fog in winter
- socializing costs money
- Homelessness is more visible than the video's weather talk suggests
- Suburbs like Rocklin and Folsom are often overlooked and worth considering
- Summers are hot but manageable with air conditioning
- Nightlife closes too early for many people
- Socializing here tends to depend on who you know

“Rocklin, West Roseville, Folsom, Lincoln, El Dorado Hills. Best schools (main point), demographics, safety, parks, shopping and landscaping. Roseville comes with an extra perk of CHEAP electricity”
