Finding an Apartment in Sacramento:Sacramento has become a bustling city with many of the residents of the San Francisco Bay Area migrating to the capital city of California in recent years. The real estate market has finally subsided in this region but apartment rentals are still flourishing which measn you will pay quite a bit for a 1 bedroom unit in or around the downtown area. We know several families that commute from cities like Folsom and Rocklin down into Sacramento each day but their rents are not that high. If you plan on staying in the region for more than a few years, definitely consider picking up a condo or small house you can rent since the market has become much more affordable since the subprime crisis in mortgages. For finding an apartment start by going to Rent.com or Apartments.com and take a look at general prices, availability, and floor plans. Then make a few calls to the property or apartment managers to get more details on deposits, rents, and make an appointment to stop by. Craigslist.org is another great site for finding a rental unit in almost all major cities. We also strongly suggest going directly to some of the websites we have listed below for apartment buildings and complexes. Sacramento is not that big of a city so it's ok to live on the outskirts and drive in to enjoy the restaurants, bars, parks, and other activities. Consider cities like Arcade, Arden, Roseville, Parkway, and Florin.
The cost of living is high in the Sacramento Metro area, and 1 BR apartments will normally set you back $1000 or more per month. Below are listings for some Sacramento Apartment Rentals.
