Good Small Town User Rating 4 rating By Anonymous ( Oct 26, 2024) As a current resident of Jackson. The greatest compliment I can give It is a safe town overall. The residents here are fairly friendly as well. The crimes I find are fairly rare here, which is a rarity. The weather here is fairly hot in the summer mid 90s to low 100s but it is a ...Read More dry heat. The spring and fall months are fairly mild. Public transit here is decent during the week, But not existent during the weekends. I highly recommend driving if you live here. I definitely would say this is a good family friendly environment to raise children. Amenities here are very minimalistic we have 1 movie theater, a gym and a whole bunch of fast food restaurants and 5 grocery stores, a Walmart, and a park. You're going to have to commute to the nearest big city which Is Sacramento to get anymore family friendly fun amenities....This is definitely a great place for retirees and middle-aged people, And those who like a small town feel.
