Our Take
Elk Grove offers solid public schools and a short drive into Sacramento, but the walk score is practically zero and local dining options are limited. Housing prices are high relative to median income, and the cost of owning a home includes significant taxes and utilities. If you value good schools and a short commute but don’t mind a car‑centric lifestyle, Elk Grove is a reasonable choice.
