There are a fair number of people who live in the neighborhood who attend Jesuit, but Jesuit pulls from throughout the region.

In my neighborhood, most of the local kids go to Rio, then I would say its split between the IB program at Mira Loma and El Camino.

Then I would say its Jesuit and St. Francis followed by Country Day and Sac Waldorf.

For private elementary schools, I would say its OLA, St Michael's Episcopal, Saint Ignatius followed by Sac Country Day and Sac Waldorf.

Whereas traffic is just going to get worse in the region and as that happens, I think West Sac will just become a more desirable place to live.

Thanks, I will pass that along to him. He wants to be close to 80 because he will have to go to his office in Contra Costa County once a week. He likes the West Sac house because it's so close to the river. He doesn't want a big yard or a swimming pool just access to places where he can bike or walk.

I've been looking for awhile with a future relo to your area in mind. Seems like all of these areas have tradeoffs. If you want the character and elbow room of a Carmichael or Fair Oaks property, the tradeoff is that the neighborhoods are a little dated and rough around the edges...compared to Folsom where you simply get less for the money in terms of house but (for some) a more attractive safer-feeling vibe. To me it seems like you would know in your gut what you prioritize and while the input of others is valuable in a way, it is also not as we all have different tolerances/priorities. Natomas and Elk Grove strike me as where to go when all you really care about is the actual house. West Sac id hard to figure out - seems like it's been up and coming forever - nice for the value/convenience, but I'm skeptical that it will ever be a real hotspot. Lastly, these houses are worth what someone will pay for them. I personally would pay a steep premium for a Streng or other MCM home and live with the potentially ratty(ish) area because I love the architecture, nice lots, and proximity to the city but that's just me.

Of course. I just mentioned that many local boys go to Jesuit, that's all.
