East Sacramento, the jewel of Sacramento County, as the name implies, is located to the east of downtown and midtown. It is bounded by US 50 to the south, business loop 80 to the west and north, Elvas Avenue to the northeast and east and the Sacramento State University and the American River to the southeast.  East Sacramento is famous for its charming, family friendly and tree-lined streets.

Little History: East Sacramento’s residential development began in 1890’s and it was annexed to Sacramento in 1911. One can not talk East Sac and not mention two neighborhoods:

1. McKinley Park: A beautiful 32 acre park which has a small duck pond, a community pool, an expansive playground, 8 tennis courts as well as a Rose Garden.

           2. The Fabulous Forties (Fab 40’s), where Film and Media Sacramento calls it “one of the most iconic, gorgeous  and wealthy neighborhoods in Sacramento” is a spectacular part of East Sacramento where president Ronald Reagan lived when he was serving as the Governor of California.
