One of the cheapest cities to live in CA, great lifestyle with Sac river, hiking, fishing, outdoor activities, one hour from Lassen National Park, one hour from Mt Shasta.

You can also find plenty of good restaurants and arts around in the city. I recommend to stay at least 3-6 months to get the feel of living a PNW life.

The weather is just average, with cold and windy winters and mediocre summers.

I personally think it's a little overrated, but a cool place to visit nonetheless. The architecture is beautiful, and there are lots of good places to eat.
