The Rancho Cordova neighborhood has easy access to an extensive network of hiking and biking trails, while being less than a mile from U.S. Route 50. “Both Folsom and Downtown Sacramento are within a 20-minute drive of Sun River,” says Ana Alvarez, a local real estate agent with LPT Realty, Inc. “A lot of people move to the east end of Sacramento to be close to the Franchise Tax Board building. It’s one of the biggest employers in the city.”
