Living in Auburn

---

 Vibrant downtowns: Both Old Town Auburn and the newer downtown area offer walkable shops, restaurants, and weekend markets.

Outdoor access: Close to the American River Canyon, hiking trails, and the Western States Trail system.

Historic charm: Gold Rush roots meet modern convenience, with beautiful architecture and cultural pride.

Excellent schools: Zoned to Placer Union High School District with a range of public and charter options.

Commuter-friendly: Quick access to I-80 makes Auburn a strategic midpoint between Sacramento and the foothills.

 Auburn’s housing stock includes mid-century single-family homes, updated ranch-style properties, historic bungalows, and semi-rural estates. Homes often sit on large lots, especially in outlying areas like Christian Valley, Bowman, and North Auburn.

Many buyers are drawn to Auburn for its balance of price stability and lifestyle perks, while investors appreciate its steady rental demand, low vacancy, and proximity to major employment centers without Sacramento’s pricing.
