Downtown/Midtown Sacramento, California Real Estate

Although they blend the old and the new and go well together as they fulfill complete needs for the approximate 50,000 residents, there are some distinct differences between Downtown and Midtown Sacramento. The city has been ranked eighth of the top ten best cities in which to work and live.

It is a 66-block area dining and entertainment destination with the region's finest restaurants, attractions, outdoor recreation, theaters, and more within a convenient walking distance on beautiful tree-lined streets. There is an Antique Faire and an Art Walk every month and lots of other activities.
