1. All I can give you is anecdotal. I’ve heard more good things about Bear River than NU, but I think both schools are just fine. There’s also public charter schools with more diverse extracurricular options.
2. Fishing is decent at Scott’s Flat, Rollins, Englebrite, Bullard Bar esp if you have a boat to get away from the busy swimming/launch areas. I think LOP and Wildwood are stocked but not sure.
3. No personal experience with HOA, but I’ve never heard people complain apart from the added cost. Fire insurance in California is a doozy. It’s a bad situation here, maybe the worst thing about living in this area honestly.
4. Sutter Auburn/Roseville seems preferable to SNMH in Grass Valley by most accounts
5. Lincoln is a commuter suburb for sure. Doesn’t have the same woodsy/foothill vibe as the rest, but does have lots of conveniences and is a fairly quick commute to the base. Auburn has the advantage of being right on the I80 corridor, but less “charming” than GV/NC. North Auburn (areas off Luther Rd, Lone Star, Mt Vernon) can be very nice.
I’ve known a lot of people who work on the base and live in Lake Wildwood. You get the neighborhood feel (if that’s what you like), a few conveniences nearby in Penn Valley, close access to nature through places like the Yuba River, Spenceville, Englebrite, Bullards, etc. And you hop on Hwy20 for a half hour drive to all your bigger shopping needs in Marysville.
I would say this applies to 6.
7. Plenty! Nevada City’s is the best IMO. But lots of farms nearby around Yuba City etc that head up the hill.
