Sit outside on a summer evening and you’ll know why many people call West Sacramento home. A breeze blows through the Delta and cools the hot Valley air. It carries with it the green, growing scent of the fields and orchards on farms just outside of town. Wind chimes and the laughter of children from a nearby park fill the air with music. Well-planned neighborhoods encourage walking and biking to the grocery store. West Sacramento is small enough that you know your neighbors and feels like a hometown, yet offers the amenities of a big city. It is the best of both worlds.
