If suburbia is what you’re looking for, Elk Grove is the perfect place. Track homes, chain restaurants, decent schools, and small shopping areas is pretty much what you’ll find here. If I didn’t have a teenager, I probably would not have moved here. In fact, I know I wouldn’t have. My home is beautiful, but we’ve lost money because of the overbuilding and high interest rates. If I could purchase for the same amount in the Bay Area or SoCal, I would much rather live there.
