Great place to live

I've lived in the Sacramento vicinity for 12 years, and in Northern California my entire life (I grew up in the San Jose area). The area of Rocklin I am living in is the best place I've ever lived. It's safe, people are friendly, streets are clean, we're close to Highway 80, and every store we need is within 5 minutes. We live on the border of Loomis, and are in the Loomis school district, which has one of the best rated high schools in the state: Del Oro. People are regularly jogging & walking dogs in our neighborhood, a rare site in the prior two places I lived in Sacramento and Elk Grove.
The summers are hot, but unlike most of the country it's a dry heat. Easy access to the Sierra Mountains is nice, and the ocean is only about 2 hours away. Our house is at about 350 feet elevation, and my wife really noticed a difference in air quality from when we were living in Sacramento.
Housing is getting expensive so if you plan on buying, I recommend doing it soon.
