@@Truth24434yes & antelope. Smud is good & the electric bill becomes non-existent with a solar on the roof. I don’t like rocklin as there are more dogs in the park than children. This area is more family oriented.
Recently moved to Folsom after 45 years in Fair Oaks. We considered EL Dorado Hills just a few miles east. We chose Folsom because it's in Sacramento County and electricity is provided by SMUD (gas is P.G.E.) El Dorado and Placer Counties have strictly P.G.E. and their rates are outrageous. I know for a fact that in both Counties it's common to have power bills at or over $1000 a month. If you're moving to the Sacramento Area buy in Sacramento County and you won't enrich P.G.E.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s always helpful to hear from someone who’s made the move. Folsom really does have its perks, especially with SMUD!
A lot of detailed information, thank you! Please double check on this "Whitney High School in Rocklin is not the one ranked #2 in California-that distinction goes to Whitney High School in Cerritos."
West Roseville's price point for a home is more affordable than Folsom and Rocklin. Also being close to Roseville shopping and so much future development planned for that area.....pretty solid outlook.
Folsom wins for me 8 out of 10 times! Less traffic, nature trails, Folsom lake, SMUD versus only PG&E, all the shopping, and the old historic Folsom district is a fantastic spot for date night!
To comfortably afford a $500,000 house, you'll likely need an annual income between $125,000 to $160,000, As of Dec 24 the average annual salary in Rocklin is $47,235 that means that average person or couple would not be able to qualify. This is very bad. Also with the projected 5% growth that would knock pretty much everyone's income of the list by mid 2026😓...................There are currently no jobs in these areas for anyone to afford any of those home. Even a dual income is very hard to afford plus bills plus prop tax plus car payment ect going up every year. these homes will keep you working until your 100 years old to pay it off.
@@SacramentoRealEstate I am not sharing this to be helpful to buyers. I am sharing this to let everyone know what a joke these homes are and the people selling them are very predatory just to make a sale . So they do not purchase these garbage investments. WTF
Folsom because it has the three things my investors look for short term rentals, long term rentals and appreciation. Rocklin is amazing for a primary but rentals it is further away from businesses and downtown.
Did you even mention that Hwy 80 goes to Tahoe, also? And it is an easier drive to Tahoe than Hwy 50 is. Stopped watching this after about 1/2 way through.
PG&E vs SMUD is a HUGE thing to consider. PG&E is incredibly expensive. Also, Hwy 65 is hot garbage so living off of I80 (not “the” 80) is your best bet.
Absolutely, PG&E can really hit the wallet hard! It's definitely worth considering energy costs when choosing where to live. And I totally agree about Hwy 65-traffic can be a real headache!
You bring up some valid points! The cost of living and traffic can be challenging in the area. It's always good to weigh the pros and cons before making a move.
We have the best schools in Rocklin , and when getting my coffee I’m surrounded by wealth , no bums. And homeless get took to jail here. We love our town
Schools are definitely subjective but here’s a link to great schools.org where it gets a 9 out of 10. www.greatschools.org/california/rocklin/14607-Whitney-High-School/
Let me know in the comments below if you like Rocklin or Folsom better!!
Roseville is the way to go. Rocklin has pg&e and you can save hundreds a month on electricity along

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Roseville definitely has its perks, especially when it comes to energy savings. Every little bit helps!

That is not completely true! Roseville (in Placer County) is on Roseville Electric!
@@hopespringseternal2624 Sorry1 I stand corrected.
Beautiful homes & great video. Very informative!!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Two top cities in the Sacramento metro for sure.
Folsom and Rocklin are both great choices!!
For sure! Folsom and Rocklin are awesome spots! You can’t go wrong with either one!
A lot of detailed information, thank you!
Please double check on this "Whitney High School in Rocklin is not the one ranked #2 in California-that distinction goes to Whitney High School in Cerritos."
great catch....blurring that part out ;)
How does west Roseville stack up with these 2? Lots of new development there with the plus of being close to all the Roseville amenities

Rock l in rocks best school and best police department
Rocklin is pretty amazing and I love those schools
You cant go wrong with Rocklin, Folsom, or Roseville.
Absolutely! Each of those places has its own charm and appeal. It really depends on what you're looking for in a community!

It’s hard not to love El Dorado Hills
Can you speak from investor point of view (looking at next 10 years) on which is more better between folsom ranch and whitney ranch.
Folsom because it has the three things my investors look for short term rentals, long term rentals and appreciation. Rocklin is amazing for a primary but rentals it is further away from businesses and downtown.
also depends on the property and location of either ;)
Do Arden-Arcade/carmichael, top schools. Close to everything, top neighborhoods but can butt up to not as nice neighborhoods.
Video coming your way in the near future. Love those area and you are spot on. Which one do you like better?
@SacramentoRealEstate I live in Arden/Arcade. Garden of the gods. It's a hidden gem with homes in the 500/600k range.
@@BlakeCunningham that is on my video list in 2025! love that area ;)
Good info for those new to the area, but the corny "EXPOSED" and "BEWARE" clickbait terms are ridiculous.
I'll try to tone down the clickbait in the future!
Did you even mention that Hwy 80 goes to Tahoe, also? And it is an easier drive to Tahoe than Hwy 50 is. Stopped watching this after about 1/2 way through.
Thanks for pointing that out! Highway 80 does have its perks when heading to Tahoe. I'll make sure to include more details in the future!

I guess PG&E is part of the lifestyle bro!
@@Royalewithcheesee i wish there were additional options for sure...but Rocklin is pretty amazing.
How about stop moving to rocklin and overpopulating it please go to Folsom plenty of land out there
I hear you! It’s important to consider the impact of population growth on these areas. Folsom definitely has some great space to offer!
too expensive and bad traffic there now and too far away from downtown

It's great to hear how much you love Rocklin! The community and schools can make such a difference in the quality of life.
Horrible! Taking the homeless to jail? That is sick!
@@hopespringseternal2624 there has to be a better solution for sure. As a country we can do better.
Don’t choose folsom 😂
not a big fan of Folsom?
why
The whitney high you reference is in Southern California. The Whitney high in rocklin is far from a top program
Schools are definitely subjective but here’s a link to great schools.org where it gets a 9 out of 10. www.greatschools.org/california/rocklin/14607-Whitney-High-School/
whitney rocklin is a highly ranked school, folsom high more for sports not really academics
@@gwuengr2 don't forget Vista and there wicked Lacrosse Program ;)
you are correct...blurring that out now
