Top neighborhoods

Downtown Sacramento
What it’s like to live in Downtown Sacramento
Political energy pulses through this capital-adjacent district surrounding the Tower Bridge's golden span. Renters prize walkability to the Crocker Art Museum but contend with constant tour groups photographing the Capitol dome. The Underground Tours' Prohibition-era tunnels provide unique history, though basement units report higher humidity levels.

Midtown
What it’s like to live in Midtown
Midtown Sacramento offers urban convenience with genuine political character, where historic buildings house state offices alongside trendy restaurants within walking distance of the Capitol. Rental options include renovated Victorian homes and newer mid-rises, though seasonal legislative sessions create temporary congestion and parking challenges in certain areas. This centrally located neighborhood appeals to government employees and professionals seeking walkable dining and cultural attractions despite higher rental rates reflecting the premium downtown-adjacent positioning

Pocket
What it’s like to live in Pocket
Pocket surrounds a curved "pocket" of the Sacramento River creating distinctive water-oriented living opportunities. Rental homes typically feature larger floor plans and mature landscaping throughout this established planned community. While the singular access point can create traffic congestion during rush hours and the location lacks walkable commercial districts, residents enjoy significantly more living space than central Sacramento neighborhoods with riverside parks, extensive trail systems, and community lakes creating recreation opportunities throughout the neighborhood.
