Quality of Life
The Sacramento Region appeals to diverse interests and provides a superior quality of life for its residents. Counties and cities within the area have a strong sense of community loyalty, founded on cultural, historical, and geographical ties. Recreational activities, professional sports, and cultural events are abundant and available to all who live in and visit the area. Combined with a mild climate where weather very rarely disrupts daily activities, the area is an entertaining and convenient place to work and live in.Scenery is spectacular. The San Joaquin Delta, valley agriculture, the grasslands, the gold country, the cosmopolitan downtown area, and the Sierra Nevada Mountains contribute to the beauty of the Sacramento Area. Rivers, lakes, national parks, and ski resorts are also found in the region. Residents can easily leave the action of the city behind for the solitude of nearby waterways and mountains. The fact that residents of the region enjoy a rich and diverse quality of life is underwritten by a lifestyle survey that depicts residents as camping/hiking, snow skiing, bicycling, wine tasting and gourmet cooking enthusiasts.
