haha, you want an honest opinion about a city/town trust me when you've ask the right town! just don't you talk crap about it, you'll get your butt chewed. Camrichael is cool, just stay from the boulevards and the trailer parks. Theres a lot near the freeways. Allt he towns in the east/northern parts of sacramento are the same, except maybe past roseville, it starts to get sort of pricey there and the cost of living is bay area ridiculous. Whats nice about carmichael is that the streets are pretty quiet, and from what i can tell their power doesnt go out for too long. black outs are super frequent in the sac area, never for too long but still it's a consideration when you move here. That said, crime can be pretty bad here depending on how you look at it. It's mostly petty theft, not a lot of violent crime long as you're not looking for it. Lot's of car break ins and peoples sheds getting ripped off. Just dont leave anything out or unlocked and youll be fine. we're better than most norcal cities. I hope youre used to heat though, 100+ in the summers, and humid. also, the fog... I'd like to say you get used to it, but i never did after 20 years. For your son, id say anywhere here is great! super diverse for the most part, espically the closer to the city you get, and i would ride my minibike all over the place with no problems. The schools are still kind of crap though, I mean this area is nicer but maybe try one of the private or alternative school options. Honestly though, anything public+california are gonna be bad.
