Sacramento
Sunny Sacramento California is a fantastic place to live! Ranked in the top ten sunniest cities in the United States with 78% of the annual weather ‘sunny’ residents frequently cite great weather as one of the reasons to call Sacramento home. Downtown Sacramento is a tree lined city filled with architectural beauties, theaters restaurants, rivers, museums, and such a vibrant energy through the city that you may be inclined to abandon your car and walk. Over 150 years after California’s “Gold Rush” of the 1840’s there is still gold in Sacramento. In the decades since fortune hunters flocked to the region in search of the glimmering metal, Sacramento has emerged into a cosmopolitan state capital that still retains its unique Gold Rush history with prosperous mines in the foothills and historic Old Sacramento.
Affectionately known as the ‘River City’, Sacramento has two major rivers that wind through and intersect in the city, the American River and the Sacramento River. Both rivers are international attractions for rafters, kayakers and boaters. The 23-mile stretch of the American River is the tree-lined American River Parkway where joggers, walkers and cyclists can enjoy one of the regions’ many natural attractions. The Sacramento River provides a deep-water port connected to the San Francisco Bay via a 43-mile channel allowing both international shipping and casual day trips to the Bay Area.
Located in California’s expansive Central Valley, Sacramento is the seventh most populous city in California. It is also the core cultural and economic engine of a four-county metropolitan area exceeding 2.1 million residents (El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo counties). The Sacramento Metropolitan Area is the largest in the Central Valley and the fourth-largest in the state. Greater Sacramento has been cited as one of the five most livable regions in America. The city's economy is broadly based with government, transportation, leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, higher education, health services and research, and construction.
