Buy

• Westfield Roseville Galleria, 1151 Galleria Blvd. A relatively new shopping mall. It is large, bright and spacious with good parking.

Do behave at this mall however, security is ruthless, and will throw you out for the smallest infraction of rules.

Stay safe

The Roseville Police is a very effective police force. Crime is very low, however petty theft around the mall does happen during the holidays. Roseville Police are known for having a ruthless "no tolerance" policy for traffic violations. However, driving can be tough, it has a big city feel especially during rush hour. Avoid Douglas Blvd from Harding Blvd to East Roseville Pkwy especially around lunch time. Around the Galleria Mall during the holidays is to be avoided unless needed. Do not run red lights, they have cameras on them. Traffic aside, Roseville is one of the safest places in the entire area.
