Best area to live for best commute? (mainly to Arden Fair, but also Roseville, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, Elk Grove)
Moving from out of state in few months, and not familiar with the area. Because of wide spread commute, we’re seeking more tips on how commute/traffic would be.
Commute is important to me. We’ll be working
- me: mainly near Arden Fair. Once in a while, roseville or rancho cordova.
- partner: TBD but Folsom or Elk Grove, but doesn’t mind long commute as much as i do.
Looking to rent from July
- at least 2bed2bath, >1000sqft
- Need parking for 2 cars
- Budget $2500-3500
Different areas we’ve researched
- midtown: walkable, more lively, but luxury apts would have smaller spaces, extra parking costs
- east sac: walkable, homes on zillow with parking, but not too many options
- tahoe park/near uc davis medical: seem decent too
- west natoma: not safe? but also seen few luxury apt with great reviews on google and reddit (Sutter Green and Larkspur Woods) but would this rly add to our commute? The Grove looks like a new apt seems nice.
- arden-arcade: any apts ive researched on Howe ave or Fulton ave seem to have poor reviews and safety issues
Appreciate any and every insight!!!
