Lots of nice communities in the greater Sac area, especially NE in Placer county. Two hours to the coast, 90 mins to Tahoe, very good schools and houses you’d want to live in just north of $500k.

The Roseville/Rocklin/Granite Bay area is lousy with airline/Beale pilots. Other options include the Fairfield/Vacaville/Green Valley areas which are closer (but not as nice, IMHO), and seem like a Travis retirement community.
