Hey everyone. I recently received word that I will be relocating from Philly to Vacaville for work. I am a young professional (low-mid 20's) and am excited for the change of pace and to get out to california near napa, SF, and Sacramento. I have been researching vacaville though and although it looks very nice, it seems more of a quieter family town.

San Fran says to be about an hour away, and i dont know if im interested in that commute every day. I am looking for maybe somewhere in the middle that might have a bar/nightlife scene. lower crime rate if possible too.

i know anywhere near SF will be expensive so that i can live with, but cheaper would be better. hah basically it sounds like im looking for a college town which might be true, but anything close i would be happy about. would anyone have any suggestions?

Davis sounds like a great place to look into. It's a liberal minded, college town...very dog and bike friendly and only 15+ minute drive from Vacaville. No crime to worry about as far as I know. The SF/Bay Area is just too tough a commute from Vacaville every day (and pretty expensive). Vacaville is nice but not really a vibrant place for 20yr olds..more family/suburb kind of town ,imo. I'd say the only downside would be the heat in the summertime.
