Investment property in ELK, Roseville or Rocklin

[Sean Yan]

I have been reading this forum for a while, and read a couple of posts that people talk about ELK market (and I have visited that town a couple of times during weekend).

But I saw Rocklin is definitely another ‘suburb’ of Sacramento, with TOP school district.

Roseville seems to be another suburb of Sacramento, much closer to Sacramento than Rocklin and ELK Grove.

Can someone share the profile difference of these suburbs? I am looking for a property that can enjoy appreciation (and hopefully down turn resistance as much as possible) in the long run — I plan to buy and hold for 5+ yrs; and I also hope to have easy tenants to work with — I have a busy day job.
