I grew up there...wasn't a lot to do in the late 90s, but downtown is decent now. I actually like it better than San Jose (where I currently live).
Don't listen to the uninformed people from SF who've been there years ago, or just passed through.
Downtown has a variety of good places to eat and chill lounges / bars. If you like an urban feel, move downtown or midtown. It's changing and improving at a rapid rate. The new arena downtown is going to bring lots of development as well, and should be a boom within the next 2-3 years.
I grew up (13-18) around the north side of Sac...Roseville, Rocklin, Citrus Heights. I'm not a suburbia fan, but if you like huge McMansion style houses and suburbia, those are your places. Natomas and Elk Grove also similar, but closer to downtown.
My favorite places downtown:
Orphan Breakfast House
Red Rabbit
Ramen House
Dive Bar (live mermaids swimming above the bar...)
The Shady Lady (live jazz, kick back atmosphere, great whiskey drinks)I'm sure there's others but I only get up there to visit once a month or so.
