SperlingViews - Rocklin, California

seriously? Let me tell you what I have observed since moving here from Gilbert, AZ 3 months ago.I know I am going to take grief for this so go ahead and let it fly, please note I am only speaking the truth. the crime is out of control. Everyday in the SACBEE i read about a shooting, EVERY DAY! I also have never seen so many wannabees as there are here. Seriously the guys are total goobers, everyone has the typical tattoo on their bicep it makes me want to crack up. And what is with wearing the torn shirts on the sides at the gym, hilarious! I feel like i am stuck in the eighties. Oh wait there is more, they all drive the silly trucks jacked up to the sky with the big tires and does everyone have to smoke? Sorry but there is a lot of TPT here. I have a good job that sent me here. I am hoping to find the cool part of Rocklin. I have been told to look in Whitney Ranch, Stanford Ranch area,. if anyone can help please let me know as i need to buy a house here or we will get killed in Taxes. I am not being a jerk, I grew up in Phoenix area, lived in Scottsdale and bought a home in Gilbert. AZ has its faults too, but the people there are friendlier and way more hip. Oh I checked out Thunder Valley, nice casino if you like to feel like you just licked an ashtray. too bad because the casino is nice, but the smoke is to die for, seriously. not done yet one more thing, GARAGES ARE FOR CARS, not your junk and then park on the street! All of those cars that got their tires slashed recently in Rocklin, i bet the people that parked in their garages weren't out buying new tires the next day.[read more...]

Pros: Clean, lots of shopping nearby, close to Sierra Nevada mountains, safe. Cons: Lots of traffic on side streets all day long, many long red lights, lots of U-turns required, many stores are ridiculously crowded (Costco OMG), dull monotone culture, expensive rent, hot summers, many stereotypical stuck-up rich people: not everyone of course, but out of the 3 different areas in CA I've lived and the many, many US cities I've visited people in this city are generally more unpleasant, rude, and self-serving than anywhere else. I don't think they know how awful they're acting either, but I guess that's what happens when you live in a sheltered suburban bubble for too long. Pros vs. cons? You do the math. If you're still unsure, spend a day at a Rocklin or nearby Roseville retail store and watch how the customers treat the employees. Sickening.[read more...]

that's amazing that we compare a city by evaluating air condition(weather) [read more...]

I find Rocklin to be full of racist hillbillies.[read more...]

35,000 people nestled into the base of the foothills with great views across the valley. Great schools and growth. Low crime. Good neighbors. Great weather.[read more...]

Rocklin is about 675 square miles with 52,000 people and the neighboring cities are Lincoln to the North and Roseville to the South. From Roseville to Rocklin, there are shops galore! Every retail store imaginable! It makes life so much easier when you don't have to travel great distances to go to a store. The residential areas are quiet and the entire community is great for raising children. The nightlife is basically Thunder Valley Casino.[read more...]

Rockin is pretty hot in the summer, has mildly cold winters, cool autumns and perfect spring. Spring is often shorter than you want because summer heat comes on fast. Usually May is end of the nice weather and the heat pushes up to mid 90s and low 100s. It tends to be hot in summer but a) its a dry heat and b) if you work indoors, there is always nots of AC. Its only when you get in that car at the end of the day that you really feel it.[read more...]

expensive place to live[read more...]

I live here in Rocklin Ca. an lood it is expensive so as a beginner investor I am somewhere else.[read more...]

real estate costs have soared here / cost of living is high. We are leaving CA to retire.....the growth in Placer Co. has been enormous in the last 10 years. This location is best for the financially well-off and ambitious. Even Hwy 65 out to Sun City Lincoln Hills is a traffic night mare.[read more...]
