Out of the places you listed Rocklin and Roseville are pretty good with no bad areas. As mentioned Fairfield has some bad areas. Stay on the north side of the 80, or go further west to the Cordelia/green valley area.. The rest of the areas you mentioned are either in the middle of nowhere or are less desireable. Also look into Folsom since most of your list was in the Sac valley area.

For the Sac area Roseville, Rocklin, or Folsom would be my target area to move to.

For the solano county area I would choose Cordelia/greenvalley, North Vacaville near brownsvalley, followed by north side Fairfield. The south east of fairfield has an Air Base and is not very nice. Paradise Valley is also very nice on the north end of fairfield.

For any of the nice area's I mentioned expect to pay about 500000- 600000+ for a nice house.
For the Yuba City which is an hour in any direction to get anywhere about 260000, and about the same for Woodland. Both cities have good and bad areas. The wages in those areas are much less than the Sac area, there are a lot of commuters to Sac.

Yuba city nice areas are north or south only. Woodland south east only.

Lincoln is just north of Rocklin and is nice. You should also consider that on your list.

It is really hot in the sac valley in the summer. Hitting 110+ happens There are only really two seasons which seem to change overnight. Expect am 30 degree low and 50 high in the winter. Average rain fall is around 15 to 20 inches.

The cops are pretty agressive with speed traps on the major hiways, but hit up the 49 or 20 for a good country drive. Many of the roads up to Tahoe are nice as well.There are two road course tracks fairly close, as well as drag strips when you need to blow off some steam.

For smog the headers and no cats won't pass if they look.

Nor Cal is vastly different than So Cal. Here are some shots from a few road trips. Feel free to ask any specific questions as I am in all of those area's often. As far as the people it varies from city to city, Bay area is wayyyy more slow than Sacramento and more hip I guess. For the most part everyone is nice, but probably not quite as friendly as Oregon.
