But… why would you want to move to the Sacramento area in the first place? Here are the top 10 reasons!

SACRAMENTO IS ONE OF THE MOST AFFORDABLE METRO AREAS TO LIVE IN CALIFORNIA

Although property value is increasing steadily each year (the median home value was $485,000 at the time of publishing), it’s still very affordable as compared to homes in Southern California. The cost of living is 21% higher than the nation, but Los Angeles is 46% higher than Sacramento, to put everything into perspective.

While the summers may get blistering hot and reach high temperatures up to 100 degrees, if you love dry heat and a lack of humidity then Sacramento is the perfect place for you.
