Commute to Chico from Wheatland, Plumas Lake, Yuba City, or Lincoln?
My wife and I are going to be moving up North at the end of this year. I will need to commute into Oroville/Chico. We would normally move very close to oroville but she is pregnant, and we want to stay somewhat close to Sacramento because of the number of different MDs that are available there.
My question is I am assuming the commute from Wheatland, Plumas Lake, Yuba, or Lincoln up to Oroville is probably a lot better than from those places going south to Sacramento. Am I right, anyone currently do this, or know someone or once did it? If so how long did it take you to get to Oroville Chico area, and which city would you reccomend? Thanks!

Enloe Hospital in Chico is a good one. Feather River in Paradise is another good one. Live in Chico or Paradise My gawd Yuba City? Lincoln? Oroville? Life is too short.

Oroville is a good 20-30 minutes south of chico, so it depends on which town you will be commuting to. Yuba city is about 45 minutes south of Chico, but I wouldn't live there, huge drug problems among other things. Plumas lake is alright but you're looking at a 75-90 minute commute minimum up to chico. Of those towns i would say Lincoln or marysville would be your best bets as far as living goes, but you're still looking at roughly a over an hour commute to chico, and maybe 45 minutes to oroville. I would suggest moving up to chico anyway. It's a great town, big enough to have everything you need. Enloe medical center does pretty good work.

I know people who commute from Yuba City to Oroville and they say it's about 45 minutes. A bad two lane commute though. People drive like crazy on both 99 and 70. Chico to Oroville is about 30 minutes but it's all divided 4 lane freeway now. Easy commute.

Just move to Chico. If your wife is convinced there is better medical care in Sacramento, she didn't do a very good job on her research.
