Poll Results: The Best Thing About Elk Grove

You told us what you liked most about your hometown.

This week on the site, we asked readers what you liked most about Elk Grove. The results are in, and the top answer by far—cited by 38 percent of respondents—was that you appreciate the city's sense of community.

Great public schools came in a distant second with 15 percent of the vote. Twelve percent of you liked Elk Grove's low cost of living, eight percent cited the easy commute to Sacramento, and four percent thought diversity of residents was the city's best attribute.

Voters also submitted their own creative responses. Several of you mentioned the city's parks and trails (thanks, CSD!), while some also brought up safety and the police department.
