Living in Natomas

Natomas is Sacramento's fastest-growing district — a large area north of downtown bounded by the Sacramento River to the west and the airport to the northwest. Divided into North Natomas and South Natomas, the area has seen explosive residential development over the past two decades.

Sacramento Kings fans know Natomas as home to the Golden 1 Center practice facility. The area's planned communities feature newer housing stock — master-planned neighborhoods with parks, trails, and commercial centers organized around the street grid.

North Natomas in particular has become a popular choice for families seeking newer construction at prices below comparable East Sacramento or Land Park homes. Truxel Road provides shopping and restaurant access. Discovery Park — where the American River meets the Sacramento River — sits at the southwestern edge, offering exceptional recreational access.

South Natomas is denser and closer to downtown, with a more diverse mix of housing and residents. The area has a significant immigrant and refugee community that adds cultural richness.

Natomas is not a neighborhood defined by historic character — it's defined by growth, access, and value. For families who prioritize newer homes, airport proximity, and room for growth over walkable urbanism, Natomas delivers.
