Both West Sacramento & Natomas offer a great lifestyle & proximity to Downtown. On the other side of the river directly across from Downtown, West Sacramento has many forms of entertainment. The Barn is a popular community gathering spot and home to Drake's Brewing Co, offering a beer garden & outdoor bar with fire pits along with a pizza venue & local food trucks. You can enjoy live music on their outdoor stages or relax in the large open grassy area playing lawn games.  The Rivercats Stadium is right next door for local baseball fans. Homes cater to young professionals as well as families by ranging from condos & modern flats to townhomes & traditional single family homes in well kept neighborhoods. Natomas is just a short distance north and offers a similar lifestyle, commute to downtown & sense of community. The Sacramento International Airport is immediately next to Natomas if traveling is your hobby. Overall, these areas offer something for everyone and are great options to live.
