Sacramento, CA
Where the Rivers Meet
Sacramento, the capital of California, offers big-city amenities with a more relaxed pace and noticeably more attainable prices than the Bay Area. Two rivers, a growing downtown, and a family-friendly character make it a rising favorite.
Sacramento sits where the Sacramento and American rivers meet, and that natural setting anchors the city's identity. Downtown is compact and walkable, Midtown and East Sacramento hold tree-lined character, and the river trails rank among the best urban outdoor amenities in the state. As the capital, it also enjoys a stable government, healthcare, and education economy that steadies the housing market.
