Suburb Sacramento Family-Friendly Park Space Outdoor Activities

Defined by sun-drenched neighborhoods, tree-lined streets, and lacy palm trees against bright blue sky, Citrus Heights is a beautiful suburban city just 14 miles northeast of Downtown Sacramento. Citrus Heights residents enjoy easy access to I-80, for quick trips to Sacramento or northeast to Roseville, home of the Westfield Galleria at Roseville. Folsom Lake, a popular resort area, is minutes east of Citrus Heights.

Apartments in Citrus Heights provide a quieter option to city living while still being well within reach of everything this busy area has to offer -- including California State University, Sacramento, the Sacramento Zoo, and Sacramento International Airport. But as a busy city with plenty of businesses, shops, restaurants, and entertainment of its own, you'll find plenty to do closer to home. Go shopping at the Sunrise Mall, visit Rusch Park, home of the Historic Rusch Home and Gardens, and spend the afternoon golfing at Foothill Golf Center.
