Suisun City was born out of a vicious feud between two captains, the city's founder Josia Wing and rival Fairfield founder Robert Waterman, during the California Gold Rush. Today its much more laid back than the city that was once packed with buggies, wagons, cattle, and carts, with an emphasis on enjoying life and making the most of the great local wildlife that sits on its doorstep.
How to Find Your Dream Apartment
Suisun City is pretty small -- you could fit about 60 of them into San Francisco, so it isn't exactly a sprawling metropolis if you were so inclined. Make the most of its diminutive stature and try a more personal apartment search by driving around the area to get a feel for it.
Shop About

Suisun City is made up of two types of neighborhoods -- those that are almost exclusively residential to the east of the city, and those with more local amenities and attractions to the west, with prices ranging prettttty wildly for a three bedroom property.
Old Town: Traditionally considered the heart of Suisun City, Old Town had a major redevelopment plan that helped restore it to its former glory. Its no Times Square, but this is where the tourists will head, thanks to the picturesque waterfront, beautiful walks, and relatively high choice of restaurants.
Victorian Harbor: Neatly trimmed lawns and Victorian-style homes are the essence of pedestrian-friendly Victorian Harbour, which was built within the last several decades as part of Old Town's redevelopment.
Dover Terrace: Most of the city's amenities are clustered around Dover Terrace, meaning its one of the few places in the city that wont have you chained to your car.
Lawler Ranch: Quick and easy access to transport routes and spacious homes make this one of the more attractive residential areas in the city.
Quail Glen: Often has plenty of three bedroom houses for rent.
Peterson Ranch: Completely residential, with a few green spaces breaking up the monotony of house after house.
Montebello: You guessed it, yet another neighborhood with nothing but houses.
While Suisun City might come across as sleepy, theres plenty of life in the area -- or to put it more accurately, theres plenty of wildlife in the area. Birdwatchers in particular will love the chance to spend their free time at one of the nearby nature reserves, while fishing aficionados will want to pack their rod. In fact, much of the city's activity centers around the harbor and marina.
