45 Years of Moving Sacramento Families Gives Us a Unique View
We have moved families into and out of virtually every neighborhood in Sacramento. Over four and a half decades, we have developed an honest, on-the-ground perspective on where people thrive — and where they often end up moving from a year later.
East Sacramento
Tree-lined streets, craftsman homes, walkable to cafes and restaurants. East Sacramento consistently attracts young families and professionals seeking character homes with good school options. Prices reflect the demand, but the neighborhood delivers on its reputation.
Midtown Sacramento
The most walkable and culturally rich neighborhood in the city. Midtown offers a mix of historic homes, modern condos, and the best restaurant and arts scene in Sacramento. Ideal for young professionals and empty nesters who want urban energy without leaving California.
Elk Grove
Sacramento's fastest-growing suburb consistently ranks among the safest cities in California. Newer construction, good schools, and more space for the money make Elk Grove a top choice for families relocating from the Bay Area or other high-cost regions.
Folsom
Folsom offers excellent schools, proximity to nature (Folsom Lake), and a strong local economy anchored by the tech sector. It draws families who want space, safety, and quality of life without sacrificing career opportunities.
Carmichael — Our Home Base
We are biased, of course — A Better Moving has called Carmichael home since 1979. But the neighborhood's combination of mature trees, established community, proximity to the American River Parkway, and genuine small-town feel within minutes of downtown Sacramento makes it one of the region's best-kept secrets.
