North Sacramento suburbia
The rural Sacramento suburb of Rio Linda provides residents with a small-town atmosphere while still offering access to the amenities and conveniences of nearby Sacramento. The community got its name, meaning "pretty river," because of the waterway that gave life to the surrounding desert land. That waterway is now called Dry Creek, and despite its name, water continues to run through its banks. Residents here tend to commute to Sacramento or Roseville, as the Rio Linda area has few employment opportunities.
Rio Linda occupies an area almost directly North of Downtown Sacramento.
Rio Linda is a neighborhood where the locals take pride in their town.
