    "i’ve lived in this neighborhood for over 20 years. I was born about an hour from here so this is like coming back home! Everyone is very friendly! since Grass Valley is about 3000 feet in elevation, The snow level is just above us. We might get a few inches of snow every year, but it doesn’t last long. It does get pretty hot in the summertime as high as 105 at times. It’s actually very beautiful! There are many pine trees, cedars, and oaks in our neighborhood! Also gold country is where we live! So if you’d like to try your hand at gold panning try many of our creeks and rivers! Our county has the most beautiful fairgrounds in California! Many things to do in our town!"

  • Christine Cook
    "It’s a quiet neighborhood with mostly Victorian homes. It’s near a high school but that doesn’t seem to affect traffic or the peaceful atmosphere. It’s fairly close to Hwy 49 so there’s a lot of background noise but one gets used to it pretty quickly. There are several nice parks and trails nearby. It’s a decent place to raise a family. It’s also within walking distance to of historic downtown and shopping. "

Great clubhouse, golf course, restaurants, pizza parlor, auto repair, elementary school. Quiet. Absolutely lovely. Herds of deer roam freely everywhere. Only 3 miles to town. But far enough out of town to really enjoy being in the country. Lots of amenities."

    "Grass Valley is great, but something strange in a brewing in the air around here. whatever it is it's not good. But schools are great!! There is a lot of homeless and illicit drug use and I'm not talking marijuana either. At first, I thought the people were nice, but I think that's only in Penn Valley. Grass Valley has many younger/middle-age folk that act like they are in high school and are brutal to new comers. That being said, I have met many kind individuals who have been welcoming."
