Our Neighborhood

West Sacramento is a thriving, up-and-coming city, known for its lively cultural offerings, local food focus, and beautiful scenery. Downtown Sacramento is just to the east, separated by the Sacramento River.

What better place in which to create this community? 
​
​The future home of our community is a 0.55-acre property located on a quiet street in the Washington Neighborhood of West Sacramento.
​
This site is just 2 blocks from Sutter Health Park (formerly Raley Field) and the Tower Bridge, and a little further to the Crocker Art Museum. It’s an urban location, yet close to nature and trails too. Just one block from the Sacramento River with its bike and pedestrian paths on both sides.​
