Ripon Is The Best Small City to Live In 4.5 rating By djmacedo ( May 27, 2018) I grew up in Ripon, and attended the local schools, graduating from Ripon High School in 1972. My father farmed, and Ripon is a farming community. There isn't a lot of nightlife, dining, shopping, or attractions. Ripon is or was, all about community. I have family living in R ...Read More ipon. I take issue with the resident who wrote comments about Ripon on May 22, 2018. This resident states they are from the Bay Area. They probably work their too. Bay Area residents began moving to the Ripon area around 1980 because their cost of housing and living was extremely expensive, yet they still retained their jobs and commuted everyday. This resulted in an economic unbalance in wages and housing affordability. They also brought their crime and low morals and values into a religious, community-based, family city, and the results speak for themselves. Go back to the Bay Area, it would make me happy.

Peaceful Small Town And Lots Of Country 1 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I thought living here was decent. To be quite honest I am not use to living in a country setting. Living in Ripon is a lot different than living in the city for sure. I am from the the Bay Area, California, so moving to Ripon was a big change. There is not a lot of restaurants of ...Read More places to go eat at. There are your major chain restaurants that everyone is familiar with in the city areas of Ripon, like Denny's or IHOP. I feel that Ripon is for people who doesn't mind living in a small town and not minding that there is not much diversity.

Ripon tends to get extremely hot here. The best areas in Ripon is the small city areas where you can find some small shopping locations. There is not much city life here. There is a significant amount of farms and empty lands. Ripon is a good place to live if you like it quiet and are not much of a city person. Read Less
