Hi there - I live near the area that bibikerchic lives in. Have rented a house for almost 5 years now. It has a lot of quirks,and that's why I have a deal @ $850. The biggest problem is no central a/c and heat. But, again, it's a rental, and it has a large yard and cool neighbors. Where I live, it's true, one street away seems to be a problem street; but my street is nice and quiet for the most part except for one neighbor. I think that can be said about a lot of areas in America these days.
I would agree to the statement to be careful on craigslist. I used it once to find a roommate and well, let's just say, it turned into a situation where I had wished I had used a property management company (as suggested). I wanted to add that I have many gay friends and enjoy hanging out in the many gay-friendly establishments in downtown Sac (very nearby where I live). I feel you could definitely find a place in this area for 1300.00 where you could have dogs. Also, you may want to check out West Sac - which is very close to Davis and Downtown Sac both. Good luck! (P.S. I grew up in Waukegan!)
