Review of Granite Bay, California


Moving to Sacramento Metro Area- Consider Granite
Star Rating - 11/15/2008
Consider Granite Bay among your choices to relocate. It is centrally located between highways 50 and 80 for easy commuting. It is 1/2 hour to the international airport. The schools are among the best in the area. The infrastructure is mostly new and attractive. Many types of recreation are offered nearby. It is located on the shores of Folsom lake and has direct access the the American River Bike and Nature Trails, and horse trails. We are about 1-1/2 hours from many ski resorts and well below the snow line. Golf is offered at the Granite Bay Country Club, and at many nearby courses. The area is full of the natural beauty:Rolling hills, Oak trees and granite rock outcroppings.
Granite Bay offers a wide variety of life style choices among the housing developments. You can find everything from horse properties on acreage,and gated estate communities, to modest detached homes and town-homes. Quality of life is the reason to consider Granite Bay.

Growing up here this was a highly conservative area. While the map shows only 52% voted republican, they are a very outspoken 52%. Growing up in the 2000s here I was exposed to outright racism, extreme homophobia (gay kids beat up in the bathroom), and religious extremism-you will literally be shunned if you are not apart of the mega church...oh not to mention the HS principal at the time did prayer at the flag during lunch. The schools itself are strong but hyper competitive and extremely stressful for young people. Food and culture are also lacking for the area. Looks good on paper but not great in real life. Be prepared for cold winters, three months of good weather and then triple digits and fires.
