Tell me about Rosemont (Sacramento, Citrus Heights: rental, work, homes)

[SoCalNative]

We are looking to rent a home in Sacramento. We are flying up tomorrow to view several rental properties. One is in Rosemont. Specifically, it is on Coralwood, which is east of Watt and south of Kiefer, and north of Golden Empire Elementary.

I conducted a search on the Sacramento County Sheriff website and the area doesn't look too bad. My husband and I want a relatively safe neighborhood where we can walk our dogs or where I can go running on my own. We're in our late twenties and have a baby on the way. I will be working in Rancho Cordova and my husband will be in Citrus Heights. We don't mind living in a lower middle class older suburb.

Would you consider this part of Rosemont to be safe?

Others would need to give you a better answer but having driven on Bradshaw and Kiefer quite a few times the general area looks OK to me. Generally the area appears to have a lot of single story homes in the 1,500 square foot range, and looks like a lot were built in the early-mid 1970's.

I will say it's "JUST OK"

If you don't mind lower middle class (which there is nothing wrong with that) then it will suit you fine. There are alot of run down rentals there now. Rosemont used to be a rough area - I wouldn't live there. But I'm super picky it seems lately

Other than all the negative stuff I guess it's a pretty good place to live. Of course the schools suck too so I hope you don't have young kids.

Large russian population around that area south of the 50. Just be ready for it.
