Metro Center offers suburban living with an easy commute
Metro Center is a quiet, suburban neighborhood of luxury apartment buildings, office buildings and single-family homes in North Sacramento, just 4 miles from the capital city’s bustling downtown district. Residents enjoy walkable access to local parks and nature trails that border the Natomas Canal, as well as a short drive to nearby shopping plazas. Located at the confluence of interstates 5 and 80, it's well suited for commuting around the city and even the San Francisco Bay Area. “This part of the city is a great, slow-paced area of the city to raise your kids,” says Realtor Latrice Peay of Keller Williams Realty, who has been working in Sacramento for nearly a decade. “It’s known for having good schools, lots of parks and easy access to the highway.”
Metro Center welcomes residents with a blend of suburban comfort and city convenience.

Mediterranean-style homes and luxury apartments side by side
Metro Center offers a diverse mix of housing options. Provence is a small, gated community of single-family homes built in the late 1990s. These homes are predominantly Mediterranean Revival-style, characterized by stucco exteriors, tiled roofs and arched doorways. The streets are lined with sidewalks and manicured lawns, giving it a quintessential suburban feel. Prices range from around $500,000 to $600,000. The Larkspur Woods and Adagio apartment complexes are located directly across the street, offering upscale living for those who prefer minimal upkeep. “The only drawback of living in this area is that a lot of it is within a flood zone, so residents will probably need to buy flood insurance,” Peay says.
