West Sacramento enjoys the unique privilege of being a fairly quiet residential community right next door to a thriving metropolis. Separated from the state capital only by the Sacramento River, West Sac (as the locals call it) shares virtually all of Sacramento’s resources, cultural and otherwise. The I Street Bridge and Tower Bridge both feed straight into Sacramento’s historic district and downtown entertainment district. On West Sacramento’s side of the river, one of the biggest attractions is the shopping, but scenic areas like River Walk Park and venues like Raley Field give folks plenty to do in their own neighborhood.
