I am moving into a condo in SACRAMENTO, CA. I am living in a 3 bedroom/ 2.5 bathroom. I have 2 roommates and our rent is $1200. Rent INCLUDES Water and Cable. We have to set up our own Electric Services, Sewage, and Internet. HOW do you set these up? Who do you call? How much do each of these typically cost in SACRAMENTO per month?
Answer
You call each utility company and open an account, the company will want a cash deposit on average of 300. You tell them when you want service to start and after asking you questions such as Name the Account will be opened under, SSN, Bank, Credit Report and so on.
No guess on the costs per service. Electric and Sewage are dependent on your usage and will vary each month. Internet can be as little as 20 and as high as 50.

How do you like living in San Jose, California?

What are the best and worst things about it? Is it a boring or interesting place to live? What are the best, worst, and in between neighborhoods to live in? What's the political climate like?
Answer
San Jose is okay. I was born and raised in San Jose. Moved to Sacramento for a few years and came back. Honestly, I only live here because my family does otherwise I would live somewhere that housing is more affordable.
San Jose has pretty much whatever you could want - malls, movie theaters, golf, miniature golf, bowling, water slide park, mountain hiking, parks, etc. San Francisco is about an hour drive and the beach is about a 30 minute drive. It almost never snows (something like once every 20 years), there is not a lot of rain, there are not typically many 100+ degrees days although the last couple of years we did have a heat wave that lasted a couple of weeks each summer.
It is an expensive place to live. The average rent for a 2 bedroom is $1500. You can find some cheaper but they may not be places or areas you would really want to live at. As with most big cities there is crime. However, there is no more crime than any other comparable size city. We don't have four distinctive seasons like other areas do. The people are not as friendly as in other states. Traffic can be horrible at commute time.
Expensive but very nice areas near San Jose are:
Los Gatos, Saratoga and Monte Sereno
Moderate expense and nice areas would include:
West San Jose, Campbell, Cupertino, parts of Sunnyvale and parts of Santa Clara.
Places that are cheaper but less desirable:
East San Jose, South San Jose and parts of Milpitas
There is mix of political views here. Most people I run in to do not talk politics as people seem to be pretty set in their views of things.
Hope that helps you. If you have more questions send me an email.
