Thank u for the info John.
FANTASTIC Content, thank you!!
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment!
Nice. I’ve been waiting on this one
Had to do it for those you actually thinking of moving to the area. Thanks for watching!
Thanks u sir, ❤️ ✨ for this fantastic information 🥰🥰
Thank you!!! Love that you comment on diversity. We are planning on moving to Sacto and want to make sure we find a location that is diverse.
Thank you for the comment. Always appreciated! Best of luck on your move.
Very accurate. Nicely done.
Thank you so much!
Awesome video.

Great listing! I have to agree on it. I lived in North Sacramento all my life and grew up there. I was 22 years old when I moved, that was 11 years ago. And I gotta say, those cities on the list are the better ones. I always knew that East Sac is the better city too. I want to move back to Sac County but the cost of living is too much for me. Considering the city that I live in have a lower cost of living but not much jobs opportunities like Sacramento. I have families that lives in Sac and are doing much better in terms of jobs opportunities. I'm considering moving to those cities on your list. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Everything is getting so expensive! I remembered riding my bike through those east sac homes everyday to go to high school. Those were the best days! Love those trees in which it kept my brother and I cool 😎
Yeah it really is crazy how expensive things are getting. We have been here 4 years and have seen such a huge transformation since then already. I remember when we first started looking for homes. New constructions were going for as low as 300k. Now, it'd be hard to find anything under 450k. And our home has appreciated by more than 300k since we move here..
Where did you end up moving to BTW?
@@NursesToRiches Wow! That's too expensive for me. But, yes, it's good that you are benefiting from the house prices that are going up. I currently live in North Carolina right now.
North Carolina is great! How are you liking it over there?
@@NursesToRiches actually I really don't like it here.
Oh, dang, what do you dislike about it?
I live in College/Glen. It is a nice quiet area. Of course my perspective is coming from one who lived in a violent area before.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching! 🙏
My uncle lives in Rancho Cordova. I like that area I think I would live near there or Folsom when I finish nursing school. I’m currently living in South Lake Tahoe. You guys should come and ski here haha
Many of our coworkers live in Rancho Cordova and Folsom. Oh and we go snowboarding in Tahoe every season. This week we're in Canada though, in Whistler.
U should do a video on your favorite scrub brands and styles, please.
I'll let Monica be the model for that video lol
@@NursesToRiches thank u but I think u both should do it. M sure There are male nurses on your channel that want to see scrubs reviews as well.
You already know I needed this info! 😂😅 I love that you mentioned politics and diversity. Thanks Jason!
You're so funny. But isn't the goal to get the hell out of Sac? Lol
These towns look awesome 😍! Thanks for this list, this will help me so much on my search! I’m curious though, have any of these areas been subjected to the forest fires or other similar natural disasters? Thanks in advance!
None of the places in this list have a history of catastrophic wildfires but Auburn and El Dorado Hills are the two that are the most likely to be the subjects of small localized fires. The next worst thing all of the neighborhoods in this list will once in a while (1-3 times per year for 1-2 weeks at a time) have to deal with is the smoke that might make its way to us from hundreds of miles away.
@@NursesToRiches oh I see! I’ve always wondered about that and how the surrounding cities are affected, despite what’s shared on the news for the general public to see. Thank you! 🙂
@@ThatGirlAliJ yeah before we moved here we used to think all of California was on fire, lol.
@@NursesToRiches I swear it’s how us NYers think! 😂
West Sacramento is very nice area to live very calm and friendly
Thanks for breaking down the politics, this is important for many people when buying and raising a family.
You're welcome!
Wild.... how is west sactamento not on this list?
Great video. I'm contemplating moving to Sacramento from Orlando. But do the bedside nurses work 8 hours? Just asking in preparation for childcare.
Yes, bedside nurses here mostly work 8 hour shifts, but hospitals like UC Davis and Dignity Health mostly do 12s for almost all of their nurses.
What do you think of Citrus Heights? I’m moving from SF to there for work in two weeks.
Citrus Heights is a pretty boring place where the neighborhood doesn't really have great parks, restaurants, theaters, shopping malls, or any other feature that you could use for entertainment. But it's not far away from all of the other nicer neighborhoods. So, it's got that going for it I guess.
what do you think of granite bay?
It's a beautiful area with great schools and close to Folsom/El Dorado Hills. It's also closer to Lake Tahoe than Sacramento.
What do you think of North Natomas? First time home buyer here and it’s difficult to find a 3/2 house for a budget of 500k in most areas
North Natomas is a great area! It was actually on my list but I had to leave it out of the video because I could only fit 10 neighborhoods.
@@NursesToRiches good to know! I was avoiding natomas because I wasn’t sure but I heard North is a better area than south so that’s where I’m currently searching. Homes are still going 25k over asking though 😅
There is soo much new construction in North Natomas that you'll be better off buying a new build. It's also a great location because it's close to the i5, has a huge shopping center, and it's within minutes of the airport.
Just like to ask which city in Cali that has a modern built houses, thank you.
Do you mean houses that are not Victorian-style? Are you looking for new construction?
Thanks for this video! So helpful. I’m looking to move to Roseville since I found work there. Was the lack of diversity that bad? I’m also a minority. I’m deciding if I should just live in Sacramento and commute or live closer to work. The diversity issue is concerning to me but other than that Roseville seems like a great place. How was it like there living for you that you decided to move?
Don't get me wrong, the people are friendly, but the city is too right-leaning for us politically. We're moderate independents because we dislike all politicians equally. And, although Sacramento is more progressive, it's not so much in our face like Roseville was.
@@NursesToRiches noted! Thank you for the insight!
Where is Rocklin on your list?
This was definitely on my list but because Rocklin and Roseville are so closely connected I only listed Roseville. I also really wanted to limit the list to 10 cities/neighborhoods.
What do you think of Carmichael? I'm considering moving out of the Bay Area to Sac as it's less expensive, but not too far from SF.
Depends what your preference is. Monica and I would not enjoy living in Carmichael because, although it has a few nice homes, and a decent school system, it's in a pretty boring part of the Sacramento metropolitan area. It also feels like the lavish/expensive homes coexist right next to homes that look like they belong in a third-world country. We're from NYC though, so we compare every neighborhood we look at in this area to the different neighborhoods in the NYC metropolitan area.
@@NursesToRiches Sounds like that might not be the best area to move to. I'll search around midtown or the land park area. Thanks for the reply!
@@mariahbarry2119 where in the bay area are you currently living? If you like the big city feel then the Carmichael definitely is not the place. Do you have kids? If you do, the cities closer to Roseville would be better. If not, closer to Midtown is better.
@@NursesToRiches I'm living in a town you most likely have never heard of before (Novato). It's small/sleepier part of the Bay, so it would be nice to live in a more lively area. I don't have kids so I'm not factoring in the school system. Sounds like Midtown is the way to go!
@@mariahbarry2119 Yeah I think you would like Midtown. Also, the town of Davis is cool too but super expensive-so that's a no, lol. But if you're an active person then also check out the areas near Folsom and El Dorado Hills.
I really enjoy ur content. I am a nurse of 14 years experience in medsurg/acute rehab in NJ 20 min away from NYC. We are looking to move to Northern California or Austin Texas in 2023. U think I’m making the right decision ? I know u dont have experience living in Austin but According to your research , u think Austin would be better in terms of cost of living and taxes? Help!
Thank you
If you are comparing city to city, then any city near the Sacramento area is going to be far better (in terms of take home pay) than Austin Texas. I made a video where I broke down the top-paying cities in the US for nurses and Sacramento beats all of them by a long shot, especially when you consider nurses are making up to three times as much per hour here as they are in Austin, and the cost of living here is almost the same as it is in Austin.
Hi Can you please tell me if there is area in Sacramento or Sanfrancisco California that is like Upper east side Manhattan in Which there are 3 or more Major hospital that are walkable like in UES Manhattan there are NYP, Mskcc, Lenox hill and other hospital in the same place. I am wondering if i will move there without need to drive between hospitals
Where I live in East Sacramento, Mercy Hospital is .4 miles away, Sutter Hospital is .8 miles away, and UC Davis Med Center is about 1.5 miles away. Check the area on Google Earth. A lot of the suburban commute times given in this video are either optimistic or maybe based on 3 AM travel times with no cops around. Sacramento area morning and afternoon traffic makes it worth the effort to find a place to live where you won't spend two hours a day being part of stop and go traffic.
@@johnstuartsmith Thank u for the info, it seems Sacramento California is better as compared to other California places.
Arden arcade is not 5mns from Kaiser south sacramento, thats a good 10-15 mns drive
It's 5 minutes from Kaiser North.
What city in Nor Cal is best to move to with minimum wage jobs for my wife and i , we live in Palm Desert , its too hot here and we want to move to Nor Cal .
Do they have machinist job over there?
Do a house tour
A tour of homes in the area, or a tour of our home?
Your house
We actually have a video on our channel of our home tour
Where is Granite Bay or Rocklin?? If you could live in any one of the ten spots where would you live?
I was going to include them both but Roseville and Rocklin are too closely related that I chose to leave it out. But Rocklin has better schools than Roseville. And I wanted to include Granite Bay but left it out because it's mostly gated communities and I dislike gated communities because we can't tour neighborhoods in gated communities.
Everyone has their own preference. We like living closer to the city because we lived in NYC all our lives. But, for someone that grew up in the suburbs or a rural area, Folsom or El Dorado Hills would be a better choice.
There is another California suburb that has a low cost of living and that is Fresno ca because you make San Francisco Kaiser money(if you get in. One question does Fresno Kaiser offer a lot of ot as sacremento ca.
I work with a lot of Nurses that left from Fresno's Kaiser to the Kaiser in Sacramento. They tell me that they were offered a lot of overtime but not nearly as much as they're offered in Sacramento. Also, they left Fresno because they said it was an extremely boring city to live in.
Well I guess sacremento ca is the only suburb that offers a lot of ot other than the county hospitals in the Bay Area
Yeah, although, I'm hearing from Nurses in Kaiser San Diego that they're being offered a ton of OT right now as well.
Thank you for this information. Don’t work yourself too hard🙏
What about West Sac?
West Sac is close to DoCo and it is an up and coming area. It would be a decent location to move to if you are looking to live close to the city but not right in it.
West Sacramento has always had the reputation for alot of gang activity
What do you think of the East Bay Area (like Walnut Creek) compared to Sacramento area ?
Walnut Creek is beautiful but I would only recommend it if your husband is a high-income earner too. Otherwise, you guys will be living paycheck to paycheck if he isn't. I'm coming out with a video in the next coming days breaking down the cost of living in the highest-paying cities in California and I will be adjusting it by the cost of living. I'll also include figures regarding the crime rate for all of the cities on the list.
@@NursesToRiches thank you so much !
@@yvonne00t43 you're welcome!
No granite bay?
I actually had it on my list but had to limit it to 10 neighborhoods 🙁.
Let's talk rent prices. I'm seeing that in the past few months, Sacramento rent prices have gone up about 10%. My idea, in order to save money for a few years while I pay back the BSN loans and such, is to have a few roommates in an apartment or house. Ideally, this could help keep my rent and utilities to about $800-$1200 per month. Is that do-able in the Sacramento area? Think a few nurses would want to do the same? Even two nurses sharing an apartment would be good, three would really help. Is a nice 3 bedroom apartment under $2100 in Sacramento or surrounding areas something attainable?
Definitely. You could find a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment for $1,870 and up. You sound like you have a great plan, though. I have friends that are travel nurses and they have often times shared their rent with roommates, so it's totally doable.
It’s 2023 homie we ain’t trying to go to hospitals we’re trying to party!
3:55 "we reason we moved from roseville, we felt it lacked diversity"
People in roseville on why it's great: "we felt it lacked diversity"
LOL. Roseville/Rocklin and all of placer county find that statement to be a positive thing
This is true.
So, you're basically saying the ppl there are separatists?? Gross 🤮🤮
What is the most diverse area? With most asian population?
Elk Grove is diverse with a large Asian population. But the closer you are to the center of Sacramento, the more diverse it gets.
Folsom lake is closed lol
Why do you claim being liberal or conservative dominated is a good thing? A mixed democracy is alway better. We need to learn to get alone and agree to disagree. Your politics can not determine hate
I lived in Sacramento my whole entire life and if you want the truth, stay away from the top cities on this list. The truth is the more conservative leaning parts such as Roseville/Folsom/El Dorado Hills/Granite Bay is where everyone is. That is where the best shopping is, the best recreation, gyms, and it is safe. In the list, Jason mentioned that he left Roseville due to the lack of diversity. But the truth is, East Sac which he ranked #1 with the Christmas Displays is probably 99% white lol. Unless you actually go to the projects of East Sac. That East Sac part he is talking about is ultra-wealthy white people. As it is in every other major city in California, everyone wants to live in the conservative suburbs. This is the exact same thing in Sacramento. Ask any sacramento native, people will never go shopping at the malls near Downtown. There was a mall in Downtown Sacramento that closed down because of theft and crime. The Arden mall is following in it's footsteps. There's tons of videos on the internet of the Arden Arcade mall having people run in and steal things/fights. The majority go shopping at Westfield Galleria in Roseville and sometimes drive 30+ minutes from places like downtown and Elk Grove to avoid the theft and crime. Everyone who has the finances and has a family to raise, all move to the conservative suburbs. Midtown is expensive, parking is crazy (as expected), and tons of regulations. Midtown is basically Los Angeles but less dense. The best schools in Sacramento are also in the conservative areas. If you're a family person, stay away from those places. If you're single/liberal/want night life, then yea sure, stick to the midtown/arcade area.
Hi, Thanks for the comment. In the beginning of the video I mentioned that this list is not ranked in any particular order. I also mentioned which way the neighborhood leans politically, how the school systems rank for each neighborhood, and so and so forth. The facts I provided are objective and I gave my opinion on each of the neighborhoods. Sure, the conservative-leaning neighborhoods have good schools and good shopping, but some people also want to live in diverse communities. That's why I mentioned both progressive and conservative neighborhoods with both diverse and monolithic communities. This list is not set in stone and everyone will have their own opinion. That's also why in the title I mentioned that it's a nurse's perspective (i.e. My perspective).
Exactly! If you want to raise a family, it’s best to go to Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, EDH, Lincoln, Granite Bay, Loomis, Newcastle-Auburn, Elk Grove, Fair Oaks, Orangevale etc. Would include Davis, but it’s the most expensive and surprisingly most insular. It’s diverse culturally but not economically.
Woodland, Galt, Citrus Heights, Antelope, Rancho Cordova, Carmichael, Natomas, Yuba City-Marysville, Vacaville-Dixon are more affordable suburbs, very diverse, but many use them as stepping stones on the way to moving up to something more desirable.
Midtown is for singles or couples, not a family environment. Same for the new developments in Curtis Park. Land Park and East Sac are outrageously expensive, but beautiful, but price prohibitive to families in my opinion. South Land Park/Pocket are more family friendly.
Politically, the entire region, and the Central Valley itself, with the exception of Davis/Grass Valley-Nevada City, is moderate/conservative, especially when compared to the far left extremes of the Bay Area.
@@ivandragomiloff2356 hi ivan. Which top 3 cities in Sacramento would you say are the best AND most Diverse areas that are not a stepping stone. We want to stay away from conservative areas but are also looking for decent schools for our child.
We make 186k per year looking to leave the long beach area. We love long beach because it's progressive and there are many things to do... But too expensive to buy.
@@catdelgado9293 Sorry to break it to you, but Sacramento is more conservative than the Bay Area/LA. But conservative, does not equate with being unfriendly and not diverse. And if you want the best schools, the “conservative” areas have that. Davis would of course be the exception. But Davis is not diverse economically and very monolithic in other ways if we are being honest.
Roseville/Rocklin and Folsom would be my personal choices. Roseville/Rocklin are more conservative, and the schools are excellent. Folsom is more moderate, excellent schools. I would also say Elk Grove, more diverse, pretty even between liberals and conservatives, very good schools overall. Honestly, don’t be afraid of the conservatives in the area, they don’t push their agenda, are neighborly, tend not to be so judgmental, nor are intolerant.
Right...Everybody wanting to live in the suburbs must be why 2 bedroom, one bathroom 900 square foot bungalows in East Sac, Land Park, and Curtis Park sell for $600,000. And it's not crime and theft that are killing the malls, it's Amazon.
If you want diversity move to south sac.
Are all nurses subject to bullying by coworkerS?
I hate moving because it is such a risk.
You never know what kind of neighbors you'll have or what kind of landlord you may have to deal with.
In fact the community might have a drug problem and gang activity on top of it.
All these things are risks.
I dont get why diversity is such an issue.
I couldnt careless what someones race is.
Its their character that counts.
What about Rancho Cordova? The area I am referring to is the Antatolia 95742 area? @Nurses To Riches
That zip code is much safer than most other zip codes. But part of the reason for that is because there's a lot of undeveloped land there and you're much farther from civilization than central Rancho Cordova.
