    "Not a lot of dog parks downtown but miles and miles of hiking trails where owners can bring their dogs as long as they stay on a leash. Most pet owners are very responsible in this community."

  • 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. "

    "Alta Sierra is one of the nicest and safest communities anywhere in the vicinity. Neighbors are friendly. HOA only costs $40/yr and is a wonderful community organization. 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."

HWY 49 is very dangerous and almost one lane half way to Auburn. HWY 80 can be bumper to number during rush hour, so 8 miles can take 30 minutes or more."

    "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."
