Greater Sacramento
is a Great Place to Live

The Sacramento area is an affordable option for those priced out of the Bay Area housing market. Take its high quality of life and lower cost of living, add world-class restaurants, a thriving nightlife scene and proximity to outdoor recreation, and it's no wonder so many people choose to call the River City home.

The Sacramento region is the fastest-growing large community in California, with 30,000 Bay Area residents moving to the area each year, according to the Greater Sacramento Economic Council. Best of all, Sacramento is considered one of the most affordable metropolitan areas in California, with an average closed sales price of approximately $525K.

The area boasts 265 days of sunny weather each year, making outdoor recreation one of the most popular activities among locals. There's nothing like strolling through a leafy city park, dining al fresco at one of the city's top restaurants and enjoying a glass of local wine (or a pint of craft beer).
