Natomas vs Elk Grove

[Karthik Arun]

Hello,

I understand the prices are inflated now and I missed the boat, but at the moment am trying to invest on a 4br+ single family home for 500-650k in north natomas (village 7 or regency park) as the homes appear to be newer (even though it’s flood plains) and safer for investment and has food rent potential. I heard these areas are commute friendly to sac downtown and businesses.

I just came to know Elk Grove is a popular suburb (95757) and has better schools.

From rent potential and appreciation point of view, confused if I should be investing in north natomas or Elk Grove. 
Please advise

 I'm a general contractor in elk Grove I also live in 95757

By far the best school district in Sacramento County. .

From a infrastructure stand point elk Grove is sorely lacking and has a lot of upside.

Rents are also on the rise due to demand 

Natomas is closer but the i5 widening and improvements have lessened the downtown commute to 13 minutes
