"This market is an attractive option for those who have been priced out of the Bay Area," stated Aaron Anderson, U-Haul Company of East Sacramento president. "There has been out-migration from parts of the Bay Area in recent years, but many movers are remaining in-state because they can find affordability in Sacramento and Roseville. Commuters can be 90 minutes from their jobs and enjoy close-knit communities."

- Springs, TX (2)
- Manhattan, NY (3)
