Work in Sacramento

Although the cost of living in Sacramento is still higher than the national average, it’s much lower than many major metro areas in California. It’s pretty affordable by California standards.

Winters in Sacramento are mild, and it rarely snows in the city. The summers can be balmy, but humidity in California is nowhere near as intense as it is in other places.

Sacramento may not be a coastal city, but that doesn’t mean there’s no water to enjoy. The city is home to several rivers and freshwater lakes, such as the Sacramento River, Folsom Lake and the American River Parkway, where you can boat, fish, raft and hike.

You don’t have to be a history buff to enjoy landmarks like California’s First Passenger Railroad or the California State Capitol Museum. Not into museums? Run Eppie’s Great Race, the world’s oldest triathlon, instead.

There’s no shortage of age-appropriate activities for the whole family. Between the Sacramento Zoo, Funderland, Fairytale Town or ArtBeast Studio, there’s no time to get bored.

Sacramento is an up-and-coming food city and leads the pack when it comes to the farm-to-fork movement. Because it’s located in one of the most agriculturally-rich regions of the country, the city boasts tons of farmers markets offering fresh and tasty produce.
