Sacramento is a fantastic place to call home. Positioned perfectly in Northern California, we are a short drive away from the mountains, the ocean, and even the desert!
If you are an outdoorsy individual, Sacramento would be a great place for you to live. The greater Sacramento area is sprawling with bike trails, hiking routes, lakes and rivers. If you want a more low-key outing, there are plenty of restaurants, stores and recreational spots to check out. Go to the drive-in movies, practice your golfing and bowling skills, visit a museum, or shop till you drop. The eateries in Sacramento are unparalleled. They don't call us the Farm-to-fork Capitol for nothing!
Sacramento's historical victorian architecture can still be seen in the neighborhoods of Midtown and East Sacramento. Exploring the beautiful homes is an activity on its own.
If you can handle the heat and the traffic in Sacramento, you will be gifted with friendly faces and endless opportunity!

Sacramento is an interesting city. People either love it or hate it. Being born and raised from Sacramento has shown me many things. Once you have lived in the area for awhile you begin to become familiar with the people within this city and it can be so warming to know so many different and diverse individuals. The city can get quite boring at times as there is very little to do for teens but the calmness can be soothing and comforting. Personally,
I am ready to start my new life with college but my 18 years have been nothing short of the good, bad, and ugly here in the best way possible. Thank you Sacramento!

Sacramento has an excellent bar and restaurant scene, as well as a flourishing network of farmer's markets supplied with produce from the region. There are many outdoor activities, theater companies, museums, and an excellent library system. The area is very diverse, though I would love to see more people of color in positions of power, and an overhaul to our police force/DA's office as there have been some awful race-based conflicts. The arts/dining/outdoor activity scene is really what makes this city great, along with our close proximity to forests, beaches, skiing, and major cities!
