I would not want to live anywhere along HWY 5. Way to many serious wrecks and they are going to be doing some serious construction widening parts of it to 4 lane.
There are new subdivisions going up all over town in all sizes so you can pretty much find what you want in the size you want.

The schools are great (they employ me! )
Elementary schools are pretty close the neighborhoods (did you know there are 7? )
2 middle schools and jr highs, HWY 89 is the divider of those. and of course the one high school.
