With over 130 assisted living options, a relatively low cost of living, and its proximity to many California destinations, Sacramento makes an ideal city for retiring seniors. In just 90 minutes, you can be in San Francisco and Napa Valley wine country. In the other direction is beautiful Lake Tahoe and all of its recreational amenities. Combine that with the city's cultural diversity and you can't go wrong.
Deciding where to live in Sacramento is deciding what kind of lifestyle you want. If you want to live in the city, consider the Midtown area. You'll be close to Hart Senior Center, Capitol Park and plenty of shopping and dining options. See our listing for The Chateau on Capitol Avenue, an assisted living community. North up I-80 is the suburb city of Roseville. Here you'll find the Westfield Galleria mall, several colleges, and a health-oriented community with 27 miles of off-street bike paths. Other areas to consider are Granite Bay and El Dorado Hills northwest of the city. Eldorado Hills sits in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains while Granite Bay is situated on the north shore of Folsom Lake. See our assisted living listing for the Eskaton Lodge in Granite Bay.
Within Sacramento, you'll never run out of things to do. Explore the 23-mile American River Parkway. Here you'll find golfing, guided natural and historic tours, fishing, walking and cycling paths, and much more. In the summer, watch plays performed under the stars in the amphitheater at Fair Oaks Village. Enjoy Friday Night Concerts in the Park at Cesar Chavez Plaza downtown; and Harmony on the River, held along River Walk Park in West Sacramento.
For seniors, making those fixed income dollars stretch is important. Luckily, the capitol city's cost of living is low—just 15% above the national average according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics—compared to other California cities. Plan to spend about $2,000 a month and up for assisted living in the area.
