Sacramento

The state capital and the 6th largest city in California, Sacramento is located where the American and Sacramento Rivers meet. A deep water shipping canal connects Sacramento’s Port to the San Francisco Bay, fueling a robust economy, and making the “River City” one of the fastest growing major cities in America. Sacramento also has the most trees per capita in the world, and has been dubbed the “City of Trees” for its lush, green, walkable neighborhoods.

With a population of 528,398 and over 2.5 million in its metropolitan area, Sacramento is more affordable than other metro areas in California, yet has a lively culture, a Mediterranean climate, international restaurants, and a thriving nightlife. A city this size requires great transportation, and it delivers. An extensive light rail system makes getting around a breeze, the highways and international airport connect the city to the country and the world, and fun family vacations in the Bay Area, Lake Tahoe, and Yosemite are just a few hours away.
