Let's talk numbers, shall we? The cost of living in San Francisco is a whopping 29% higher than in Sacramento. But here's the kicker - housing in San Francisco costs 89% more than in Sacramento. Imagine getting more house for your money and still having cash left over for that fancy espresso machine you've been eyeing!

Sacramento suburbs aren't just affordable; they're downright delightful! We're talking top-notch schools, family-friendly vibes, and enough parks and trails to keep your Fitbit in overdrive. Plus, you'll have time to actually enjoy life instead of being stuck in Bay Area traffic.
