At the center of everything northern California has to offer.

Schools Commuter Parks

One of the newest cities in California, Elk Grove only incorporated in 2000, and the population has more than doubled since then. The local school district has won many awards and recognitions at both the state and national level, making it a terrific place for families. Designed with a distinctly suburban feel in mind, most of the in-town attractions are based around the city’s parks and recreation facilities. However, downtown Sacramento is less than 30 minutes away, putting all the shopping, dining, and entertainment of the state capital at your fingertips. Roughly halfway between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe with convenient access to wine country, Elk Grove rentals put you in a prime location to explore and enjoy northern California at your own pace.
