La Riviera Apartment Renter's Guide
Ah, the Riviera. Just the name conjures up a luxurious lifestyle in a European playground -- fine French wine, maybe? Yacht parked out front? La Riviera, California, isn't on the Mediterranean, but it is situated on the waterfront and takes advantage of stunning natural beauty.
La Riviera is part of the greater Sacramento area, bordered by the Arden-Arcade community to the north, the city of Sacramento to the west, the city of Rancho Cordova to the east, and the Rosemont area to the South
Ah, the Riviera. Just the name conjures up a luxurious lifestyle in a European playground -- fine French wine, maybe? Yacht parked out front? La Riviera, California, isn't on the Mediterranean, but it is situated on the waterfront and takes advantage of stunning natural beauty.
La Riviera is part of the greater Sacramento area, bordered by the Arden-Arcade community to the north, the city of Sacramento to the west, the city of Rancho Cordova to the east, and the Rosemont area to the South. It's a small town but a well-known nook in Sacramento, just two square miles and home to about 10,800 residents, at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census.
Moving to La Riviera
While La Riviera is a desirable neighborhood, finding a house to rent shouldn't be too difficult, provided you allow yourself at least a month to six weeks to get acquainted with the offerings. Rental homes are usually generously sized and go for below the national average. This is a far different scene from the Bay Area, that's for sure.
You may face a bit of competition in the fall for apartments to rent thanks to La Riviera's proximity to Sacramento State University. There are still plenty of great one- and two-bedroom apartments around, however, so don't be scared away by the student presence.
A Riverfront Neighborhood
La Riviera is located just east of California's capital city, Sacramento. A popular area for state employees and political types, La Riviera is bound by U.S. 50 to the south. A quick two hours will take you to unparalleled fun at Lake Tahoe. The American River forms the boundary to the north. A quick two minutes will take you to a lazy float down the river.
Life in La Riviera
La Riviera's great transit connections make it popular with Sacramento commuters. The light rail whisks workers downtown in no time flat. For most other errands and activities however, you'll want your own car.
There's a smattering of retail within La Riviera, but you'll probably head to Arden Fair Mall or up to the Roseville Galleria for your heavy shopping needs.
Food-wise, you'll find just a few options within the neighborhood itself, but in the greater area, every chain you could ever wish for is probably within a 10-15 minute drive. You can head into Sacramento proper and sample a scene widely recognized as the Farm to Fork capital of the world.
For the sporting enthusiast, you'll have easy access to Sacramento Kings games, River Cats baseball at Raley Field in neighboring West Sacramento, and even professional soccer, with the new Sacramento Republic FC. The region has all the big city amenities you'd generally expect to pay more for and sit in traffic longer for. In La Riviera, they are much easier to reach.
Recreation-wise, bring your sunscreen and your raft to take full advantage of the American River rolling past your door. With over 35 miles of paved bike paths, the American River Bike Trail is a national attraction for cyclists, runners and more. You'll see every kind of native plant and animal and really get to know the regions character in just a few miles of walking along the American River, which originates in the Sierra Mountains to the east. It's no wonder this community was bestowed with such an imagery-rich name. Whether you're escaping to the river in the summer heat or strolling its banks to take in the fall color, you'll be glad you chose La Riviera as the setting for your new rental home.
