Looking for a nice town within 2-3 hours of Doyle, CA/Reno, NV? (for rent)

[lookingforhomeinca]

My mom is moving to Doyle, CA so my husband and I are probably following. We don't really want to live in Reno, because it looks like the crime rate is really high according to city-data.com What town do you recommend? We like to be close to a big city, but live kinda int he country at the same time. Kings Beach, Crystal Bay, Tahoe Vista, and Dollar Point all seem like they might be nice according to this site, but they don't even have crime data listed. Is there no crime at all there? Also, low cost housing is a must. We are a young couple, with children on the way so low crime and low cost (About $800 for rent) is what we are hoping for. Thanks for any input you may have on the area.

You won't find much for $800 a month in the Tahoe Area. It's quite expensive there. You didn't say if you have a job, or will be looking for one. Where you live could be dependent upon that. In Reno, you can probably find a 2 bdrm place for around $800. I guess other possibilities would be Susanville, or maybe Portola.
