Elk Grove, California is the featured City this week. I have much to say and show you about the fastest growing city in the U.S.

Home Buyers that are thinking of moving and relocating to Elk Grove I know it is important for you to get a feel for the Community and I hope that my tours below and information help give you an idea of what life in Elk Grove, CA is like.

Please feel free to call or email me or simply comment below and ask me about Elk Grove. Maybe some local residents will also comment on Life in Elk Grove to give you, the reader a better view of our great City.

Once a sleepy little town with one stop light, this centrally located town became a City in 2000. Within 20 minutes at most, from Downtown Sacramento, and flanking Interstate 5 and Hwy 99 this new City has grown leaps and bounds. It is home to the Elk Grove Unified School District where teachers flock to work and where new schools have been built and continue to be built in record number.

Lot sizes vary within Elk Grove. Typically, the lot sizes are larger on the East side of Elk Grove where you will also find rural areas, as well. Builders have built an array of new homes in Elk Grove over the past few years since many Bay Area homeowners relocated to Elk Grove where they could find affordable housing with a bit of county feel. It is not uncommon to still hear the sounds of roosters crowing in the morn still preserving the country feel.

Take a tour of Elk Grove, and see a small sample of quaint Old Town Elk Grove where older homes are located on either side of Elk Grove Blvd., the Elk Grove Brewery, Elk Grove Chamber of Commerce, the new City Hall and various other city offices, buildings and businesses.

The next two tours I have divided into

• East Elk Grove zip codes 95624

and

• West Elk Grove. zip code 95758 and 95757

The subdivisions in the video were chosen at random. There are many more subdivisions in Elk Grove and these serve only as a small sampling. As you can see we have a lot of different areas and homes in Elk Grove.

Did I mention that Elk Grove has its own little airport? If you have an airplane and need a place to land and take off heres the place, Sunset Sky Ranch Airport.

As a Home Buyer, you have an incredible array of choices in neighborhoods, subdivisions and areas. If you are interested in knowing if there are any homes for sale in Elk Grove or in any of the areas that I have shown you in the tour, all you need to do is ask or email me.

While shooting these photos, I believe I have found the site where the future home of Elk Grove Promenade mall will be built hope they plant some trees

If you are a Home Buyer and thinking of Relocating to Elk Grove, CA here are homes for sale in Elk Grove. It would be my pleasure as a full-time Realtor who knows the area to help you find just the right home.
