Explore Our City

---

The city of Sacramento is transforming at a rapid pace. Once notorious for being the sleepy government town near San Francisco, our city now stands on it's own as a vibrant destination and thriving metropolitan center with it's own unique culture and identity.

Our city's recent urban renaissance has given way to a community that is dynamic, diverse, and growing by leaps and bounds. As we move toward our goal of adding an additional 10,000 homes to the urban core (via smart growth), Sacramento will continue to blossom and flourish as one of America's most attractive places to live, work and play.
