| Hot summers, beautiful spring and fall, mild winte - 8/31/2011
Tracy is in the Central Valley of California (San Joaquin County). It is approx 60 miles from San Francisco and Sacramento, which makes it an easy town to live in and commute to the bigger cities for work. If you like hot summers (90's to low-100's), mild spring/fall (70's to 80's) and not-too-cold winters (30's to 50's) this is a fine place to live. Tracy is approx 2 hours from all types of landscapes: Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Redwood forests, Gold County...to name a few. [read more...]

| Close to everything - 7/17/2011
We moved here last year and are happy with our new locale.
We are within 2 hours of the beach, the mountains and beautiful recreation areas. We are within 1 hour of major cities and airports. Tracy is easy to get around in and people are friendly.
The city is trying to create an inviting atmosphere with concerts, parades, wine-strolls,farmers' markets and special events being added all the time.
Housing prices are very reasonable.
There are many organizations and churches working hard to make Tracy a great city. People care.[read more...]

| valley living - 7/31/2009
REnts here are cheap. There's enough large and small retail business here for all our needs, but without the urban sprawl. People who work here are friendly and enjoy working here. Many people buy here from the SF East Bay to enjoy a lower cost of living and a simpler life-style.

| Recently Left Tracy - 6/12/2006
As a 16 year resident of Tracy, I can confirm the other comments about it being crowded, expensive, and poor schools. The town is now divided over school funding with an older high school falling apart after years of telling the newcomers to pay for their own schools (through a $1200 /year tax surcharge called Mello-Roos). They now want a Bond that everyone will pay for to repair the old School.
When I moved to Tracy 17 years ago, it was a fairly small Farming community with population barely 20,000. Now with many moving in from the bay area, the population has skyrocketed to over 80,000 along with increased traffic, Bay Area attitudes, and yes, Crime.
Glad I got out when I did. Although I miss the Sierra and the Mountains, I don't regret leaving Tracy. Consider it very carefully before moving there.[read more...]

| Housing is ridiculous! - 4/25/2006
Housing is way overpriced and the jobs are not equal to the housing. Very poor market! Schools aren't even that good. Not a great place for a family.[read more...]
