I am thinking about moving to Sacramento. I don't know the area so any help would be great! Which side of sacramento North, East, West, Or South is the best without living in the high priced areas. Every city has it's area's that are run down and crime infested. So please don't aim me in that direction. I just need a place where the average person can live. Also, is Sacramento pretty dog friendly when it comes to rentals?

Carmichael and Citrus Heights are two areas to the east of downtown (about 12-15 miles) that are fairly reasonably priced and decent areas:

Carmichael, California (CA) Detailed Profile - relocation, real estate, travel, jobs, hospitals, schools, crime, news, sex offenders

Citrus Heights, California (CA) Detailed Profile - relocation, real estate, travel, jobs, hospitals, schools, crime, news, sex offenders

Dogs are an issue, if you have one it shouldn't be too difficult. If you have many...

SO do you only have a dog? No kids? So schools don't matter?

Renting a house or apartment? And what size?? And what is your monthly budget - that will help us out

Whatever you do - stay away from South Sacramento - that's the ghetto gang area

Default Just me and my dogs

I just have two 15 lb dogs. Very socialized and well- mannered. I plan on getting a roommate so my rent will even be cheaper. I am on disability that is why. Thanks
