Well both cities are almost identical- except for Stockton having more "bad spots" I live in motown and there are some good neighborhoods here. Modesto also have a WAY larger mall than Stockton.
Stay away from the Stockton downtown and the area south of crosstown freeway(this is like 75% of the city!!)
Stay away from areas in Modesto west of 99 and south of Kansas ave. Also airport neighborhood and empire.
If u r going to live in modesto, u might wanna live in the upper east side(north of the creek) and north of briggsmore. Also if ur like hella rich try del rio or Wycliffe or Lakewood neighborhoods
75% of the city? Are you serious? Motown, most of the city is really actually north of crosstown freeway... I live in Stockton and there are some good neighborhoods here too.
I would highly recommend Stockton, aside from certain areas (which are obvious if you drive through). There actually is a lot to do, and I have been through both towns hundreds of times, and prefer Stockton.
