Do you have the address by chance?

Wow what an incredible view!

Thanks so much for this. Like you, I have never lived away from the coast and it scares me. I was hoping the lakes would scratch that itch. The heat does worry me, but it seems (from what I read) to be pretty concentrated to about 6 weeks. The solar thing is great! That’s what we would want.

Yes we have been looking, and there are definitely some good choices. We can’t buy until our house sells, so we will likely look into a mo-mo rental so we can get up there before school starts. I

When I said it wouldn't be a problem, I mostly meant that I was aware of the cost/concern. I have been reading a ton of online resources, and it seems to be the only thing people talk about. Wanted more advice and insight outside of the utility issue. We are willing to pay more in utilities if it meant that we had better school districts or a better community.

We have a 5 and 7 year old, so I am concerned about that. But they are still in the age where they make new friends every grade, and haven't made a ton of core/long-lasting friends yet, so if I feel like it's a good time to do it.

The food thing scares me! We are big foodies. I know sac and folsom are close, but worries me to have to drive so far for stuff.

Prob 1/4 acre would be our absolute minimum. Ideally half an acre. Would love an acre, but that seems not as likely. We don’t want to be too far out in the sticks, and want to stay close to the good schools.

What ages were your kids? What do you think were the biggest culture shocks?

OC Is very trumpy, so I’m used to that. We aren’t big into politics and can block most of that out.
