North Highland is a suburb of northeast Sacramento. It is one of the low-income areas. I live in a relatively safe apartment complex that is tucked away from Madison Avenue, which the main road that runs through most of north Sac. I live right down the road from American River College, one of the community colleges in the greater Sacramento area. North Highlands is only 15 minutes from downtown and Old Town Sac. There is a variety of places to go for walks and hike around close by. It's not far from two of the biggest malls in the area. One of the best things about living in Sacramento is that Lake Tahoe is about two hours drive away.
North Highlands is home to me, despite this, there is much work needed to make it a home for all of us here. There may be a lot of people living here and interacting here yet there is no sense of community. If there were to be a sense of community here in North Highlands it would completely change the living here.
I have lived in North Highlands since I was 2 years old, so basically I have seen alot of people and places come and go. I would love to see the community parks get updated and more choices of restaurants would be nice. I would like to see more types of businesses that cater to the younger generation 18-25 it seems there really isnt all that much to do fun wise any more here in sacramento. I would also like the homeless situation dealt with here in north highlands, these people seems to think its ok to just use any land thats got open space is ok for them to use as a camping sight, they usually leave all kinds of junk, garbage, disturb others, and sometimes leave used drug paraphernalia laying around, I know they have nothing but that shouldnt mean that they can use others property.
