We saw several hundred new homes for sale in Texas….but if that’s not your cup of tea, how about Roseville, just outside of Sacramento? Yes, it gets warm there too, but the price point is inviting and it’s probably cooler than Texas or Phoenix/Vegas:

Our eldest lives in Woodland CA. West instead of northeast of Sacramento. Nice except for the summer high temperatures. Woodland is a real city not a Sacramento suburb.

Love Woodland!
One converted shipping container in SD or two brand new homes in Roseville?
