Community Information

California's state capital is a thriving political center. It’s also a growing region, with many shopping, entertainment, and recreational attractions. Sacramento offers urban, rural, and suburban living options with affordable housing and plentiful outdoor activities—including world-class skiing at nearby Lake Tahoe.

Just 30 minutes northeast of Sacramento, the Sierra Foothills region is steeped in history, legend, and romance. The heart of the 1849 California Gold Rush, it’s a place where today, nature and wholesome living attract newcomers interested in a more relaxed lifestyle than you can find in the bigger metropolitan areas.

A slower pace, scenic views, and a neighborly spirit are hallmarks of living in the Sierra Foothills.
