What do I need to know about living in Sacramento?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Sacramento, they said:
"Sacramento is a great place to retire for those looking for a mild climate and plenty of outdoor activities. The city is known for its diverse culture, vibrant arts scene, and excellent restaurants. Expats should be aware that the cost of living in Sacramento is higher than the national average, so it is important to budget accordingly. Additionally, the city is home to a large number of universities and colleges, so there are plenty of educational opportunities for those looking to continue their studies. Finally, Sacramento is a great place to explore, with plenty of parks, trails, and other attractions to explore," said one expat who made the move to Sacramento.
"If you are a young person in his/her 20s I would not recommend it. We do have a club scene yes, but it dies around 12am. That and most clubs/bars can be dangerous at times due to gangs coming in and starting trouble. Sacramento is perfect for someone in their later adult years to live and work. However, if you are planning on moving here bring plenty money with you, and try to find a place before coming, which isn't difficult, apartment complexes are always renting," explained one expat living in Sacramento, US.
