Moving to Sacramento: The Local’s Guide (Free)

Thinking about leaving the Bay Area, or moving to Sacramento from anywhere else? Moving to Sacramento: The Local’s Guide puts the facts in one place, in a free 17-page PDF from Sacramento Life and Living and Best Sac Homes Group.

Every number in it comes from a public source with a date, and the sources are listed in each section. Where we couldn’t confirm something, we left it out.

What’s inside

• Typical home values in 13 places, from Midtown, East Sacramento, Land Park, Natomas and Pocket–Greenhaven to Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Roseville, El Dorado Hills, Davis and Rocklin, with Bay Area figures for comparison
• Which utility serves which area, and what SMUD actually charges, including the 5 to 8 p.m. weekday peak
• Water, sewer and garbage providers by city, with posted rates where they exist
• What the DMV charges to register a car, and the 20-day window to do it
• A first-30-days checklist: driver’s license, registration, utilities, voter registration, library card and the winter fireplace rule
• The weather across the year: about 14 days a year at 100°F or above, winter tule fog and how to drive in it, and the air quality tools for smoke season
