There's a lot of crime and if you look up Megan's law there's a bunch of sex offenders registered here more then any other neighborhood in sac. I didn't grow up here but I bought a house 4 years ago here and it's not Compton but it's still a bad area. There's a lot of gangs and drug addicts. Not everyone is bad though there's people who want to improve the neighborhood but unfortunately there's not a lot of opportunities here.

I have lived in Del Paso Heights my entire life. I would grow up hearing people say how Del Paso Heights is a hood or urban area where a lot of bad crimes happen; however, since living here I have been through a shooting next door and a drive by at my high school during my cheer-leading practice, but, besides all that, I love Del Paso Heights and in the recent 10 years the crime has gone down drastically. I have never been afraid to walk out my door here where I live. The schools are great in this area as well. There are barely any bad fights and behavior being reported by the schools. On Del Paso Road there is a nice nightlife, a club and a gym.
