Bordering the winding Napa River, flowing just outside of San Pablo Bay, which filters directly into the Pacific Ocean, Vallejo has no shortage of stunning water views and sunset-boat-pic opportunities that you can pack into your Instagram feed.

Considering Vallejo is just an hour outside Sacramento and two hours from San Francisco (and it has reasonably priced housing), you've got yourself a hella rad, new Bay Area hot spot. So grab yourself a Mission-style burrito at Los Arquitos and settle in.

As you get yourself situated, make safety a priority in your new digs by installing an ADT monitored home security system. After all, ADT has 140 years of experience under its belt and offers 24/7 professional monitoring of security cameras, motion detectors, and smoke alarms and even lets you control your system remotely via your smartphone. Easy as that.

Next, go on a few thrill rides at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (check out the new 4D one!) or take a day trip to the Painted Ladies or Pier 49 in SF. It's worth the trip and a perfect spot to take Mom and Dad when they come visit. And of course, Wardlaw Dog Park, Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve, or just the beautiful Marina will probably become standbys for those weekend strolls. Welcome to V-town, folks.
