Del Paso blvd is not a good place to live. Its a lower class neighborhood, has a homeless shelter within a 10-15 minute walking distance, and a lot of crime. The city has tried to spruce up the area but I don't think anything can help. People will call it the "artsy " district becasue it has a lot of local shops but don't let that fool you. Taking a walk down the artsy district can get you robbed. The houses and apartments for rent are very cheap. I found a 2 bedroom apartment for $475/month. But then you have to risk your safety.

Stockton blvd has to be one of the worst streets. If you've ever driven down it the looks would tell it all. It's full of crime and prostition and even in full day light. With a motel and liquor store on every corner what else do they expect to track. A large part of Stockton has it's version of "china town" similar to other cities. As far as I've noticed that's the only thing worth going out there for, and even thats not that interesting.

Auburn blvd is a fairly long street and most of if it is known for shady strip clubs and prostition. It's not a street you'd want to drive down at night ( unless that's your kinda thing ) On just one block of Auburn you can hit 4 different strip clubs and a handful of bars.

LaRiviera is a great street to live on. While I was driving down it today I noticed how nice all the houses are and how nice everybody's lawn was kept. It's not one of the overly rich communities just your normal middle class neighborhood. There's a few apartments along this street with the average rent around $775 for a 2 bedroom. Which is normal for Sacramento, but in my opinion under priced for the neighborhood. The majority of the street is all residential, its not cluttered with a ton of stores. LaRiviera is very close to Sac State University. So close you can ride your bike there ( which a friend of mine does ) The best part is LaRiviera runs along the river. So for those hot Sacramento days you pretty much have the river in your backyard.

Dawes seems to be a nice street, nice neighborhood but surrounded by a bad area. The street itself is mostly quiet with friendly neighbors. At the end of Dawes you find an elementry school. Than around the corner a high school and junior high. During the day teenagers are walking home from school so the street can get busy but I've never noticed any problems. Everynight I hear a lot of siren and helicopters in the area but never noticed any problems on Dawes.

This is a quiet and friendly neiborhood. One of those streets where all the houses had perfectly landscaped lawns. It's close to a major freeway, restraunts, grocery stores, and retail shopping centers. On Sierra Gardens is a huge dog park with lots of friendly people. There is also an elementry school in the neighborhood.

J st is a main street in downtown Sacramento. There's a lot of laid back things to do out there. The main thing would be McKinnley park. Its a huge park with a library, ponds, ducks, basket ball court, rose garden, tennis, playground, a running track out linning the park and a ton of shade. J st has a lot of shops, whole in the wall restraunts, and even businesses. Its perfect for somebody to live and work. My favorite part is all the tree's, great for the hot summer days.

Arden way has alot going on. The main attraction is the Arden Fair Mall. Plus an additional dozen stores next to the mall all within the same parking lot. There's 2 movie theater almost right across the street from each other and a ton of restraunts. Everytime I'm out there its always busy with alot of traffic, but with so many places to go in such a short distance thats to be expected.

Fair Oaks blvd in the city of Fair Oaks is a great residential area. The neighborhood is friendly, its a pretty place to look at, and has nice houses and apartment complexes. Your extremely close to all the shopping centers and the mall but far enough not to have to deal with all the traffic. The main down side of living on Fair Oaks is rent is a lot more expensive than most neighborhoods.

Sunrise is a nice street to live on. Your close to all kinds of shopping centers, a movie theater, restraunts, and the mall. So there is always something to do. There's also over a handful of bars / restraunts if you want to go out at night, which can all be within walking distance from your home. You can find all your favorite stores, restaunts, fast food, and beauty shops on the same block.
