Sacramento, CA Community Resources
Sacramento holds great importance in California as the state’s capital. Still, it also holds some of the most unforgettable landscapes, historic sites, and even some quirky details not found anywhere else. Surrounded by the Sacramento River and the American River, the city offers the best seat in the house regarding awe-inducing scenery
The city of Sacramento is home to approximately 500,000 residents. While California is packed with desirable places to live, Sacramento is ideal for folks looking to move out west. This city has a lot more to offer than just a lower cost of living. While the ocean is just a couple of hours away, residents also get to enjoy the city's large rivers and lakes while also being close to the mountains! Float around in the river, go fishing in the lake, take a mountain hike, or check out the ski slope - the choice is yours!
As the city of trees, Sacramento doesn’t want you to underestimate the importance of tree-lined streets. Downtown Sacramento is full of trees, self-proclaimed as having one of the best urban forests in the nation. The city takes great care to ensure the continued sustainability of its trees, in part to offer natural shade from the scorching summer heat.
Sacramento offers many culturally rich things to do, including its expanding art scene and many kids' activities right within the city. There are also various cultural events depending on your interests and background. Celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Carnaval, or the Chinese New Year without leaving Sacramento.
There is truly is something for everyone in California's capital.
