A fast-growing city on the riverfront
On one side of Sacramento’s historic Tower Bridge are glassy offices, waterfront attractions and an historic promenade that dates to the California gold rush. On the other is West Sacramento, a mid-sized, suburban city that sits along the leafy banks of the Sacramento River. Home to just over 55,000 people, it’s known for suburban streets, riverside trails and its easy commute to Midtown Sacramento. “There’s a lot of new construction here. It’s grown so much. It’s one of the fastest growing cities in the region,” says Realtor Matthew Hindy of Sotheby’s International Realty, who’s been working in the city for more than a decade.
Until the 1990s, West Sacramento was a small town with only 10,000 residents, but its population has skyrocketed over the last 30 years mirroring the region’s explosive growth during that same time. The western parts of the city are largely industrial, including several manufacturing plants and shipyards on the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel. Its largest employers are the California state government and the U.S. Postal Service, owing to a large postal processing facility and several state offices located there.

Riverside trails and parks
West Sacramento has 39 parks, and nearly 800 acres of public open space. It’s largest is Bryte Park, a 17-acre community park with playgrounds, baseball diamonds and a football field. The park is getting a major, $30 million renovation in the coming years that includes plans for an aquatic center. Trails are also a draw — with more than 52 miles that stretch through the city, there’s plenty of space for walking, jogging and biking. Several trails run through forests and wetlands alongside the Sacramento River with views of the big city on the opposite shore. While summers in the California capital are great for getting outside, the winter months can be cold and rainy.

The Oakland A’s are coming to town
Sports has never been the main attraction for West Sacramento, but that’s about to change dramatically. For the next few years, the city will be homebase for the Oakland Athletics major league baseball team as they wait for their new stadium to be built in Las Vegas. The team will play at Sutter Health Park, home of the Sacramento River Cats minor league team. “It’s generating a lot of enthusiasm. The Yankee’s are coming, the Giants, the Red Sox, and all the games are selling because there’s only around 14,000 seats in the stadium,” Hindy says.
Sutter Health Park is located in the heart of West Sacramento.

Midcentury homes and new construction
West Sacramento offers a wide range of housing options, from modest midcentury homes to spacious, contemporary homes and even some large rural properties. The northern half of the city has a classic, midcentury feel where ranch style homes are situated on small lots. Southport, which makes up the southern edge of the city, is where the bulk of the new construction has occurred, but there are also farm properties on sprawling lots with plenty of open space. The median home price is $560,000, with homes typically selling faster than the national average.

Plenty of local shopping and dining
The city’s largest shopping center is Riverpoint Marketplace, where residents will find a Home Depot, Walmart and Ikea. The plaza also has an array of chain restaurants, local eateries and shops like Mattress Firm and T-Mobile. There’s also Southport Town Center, which has a Nuggets Markets grocery store and a Target. Drake’s: The Barn is one of the most popular dining destinations in the city. This outdoor brewery is situated along the waterfront and has a large open space with a stage for live music.

Three schools in the district, River City High, Bridgeway Island Elementary and Southport Elementary, earn A-minus ratings.

Commuting to Downtown Sacramento and beyond
One of the major perks of West Sacramento is its easy access to Downtown Sacramento. Residents need only cross the Tower Bridge over the Sacramento River to be in the heart of the capital city. Several major highways cut across West Sacramento, including Interstate 80, a major commuter corridor that connects with the Bay Area about 85 miles away. “There are a lot of people who commute to the Bay from West Sacramento. It’s probably less than an hour and a half away,” says Realtor Tiffany Ho of Portfolio Real Estate, who is based in nearby Elk Grove. It’s about 14 miles to the Sacramento International Airport.
Low crime rates
Violent and property crime rates in West Sacramento are low, according to FBI stats. There were around 32 violent crimes, and 109 property crimes reported per 100,000 residents in 2023, far lower than state and national averages.

West Sacramento is a separate city from Sacramento, situated just across the river. Southport makes up the western city's southern half and is known for suburban living on the edges of rural Yolo County. "It's still got a sort of small, hometown feel," says Edgar Barajas, a lifelong Southport resident and local Realtor with Lyons Realty. "I grew up here and have seen the area develop, but it never commercialized in the way other areas in Sacramento did." Some of the biggest Southport events, Barajas explains, are neighborly youth sports games and local gatherings along the river to watch Rowing Club races. With the attractions of West Sac just north, downtown Sacramento right across the river, and Yolo wine country to the south, Southport distinguished itself as a quieter residential area with numerous nearby attractions.<br><br>Homes in Southport are generally newer than those in surrounding areas, with a median building year of 2005. Some homes have Craftsman influences, and many have a Mediterranean feel with tiled roofs and stucco siding. There's a mix of tightly planned suburban neighborhoods and more rural homes with larger lots further south. Those homes that sit in neat suburban subdivisions can have a more cookie-cutter feel but offer updated modern amenities. These properties start around $500,000 for 2-bedroom homes and get up to $800,000 for 4-bedroom homes with backyard pools. Homes in the more rural areas of Southport begin around $400,000 for properties with less than 1,000 sq.ft. and get up to over $1 million for luxury properties with several sprawling acres.<br><br>Southport is part of the Washington Unified School District, which serves all of West Sacramento. In Southport, kindergarten through eighth-grade schools vary depending on location. The highest rated is on the west side, Bridgeway Island Elementary School, which gets an A-minus grade from Niche. All Southport kids are zoned for River City High School, also rated A-minus. The high school is known for its Career and Technical Education program, offering specialty courses in engineering, agriscience and computer science.<br><br>One of the most popular ways to get outdoors in Southport is along the water, with the Port of West Sacramento to the north. Several clubs, including rowing and sailing, enjoy the still waters around the port for maritime activities. "Fishing is big here, too," Barajas adds. Locals can walk along the riverside levees and enjoy the sweeping Delta breezes, and over at the Bridgeway Lakes Community Park, kids love to cool off at the seasonal splash pad. And many other green spaces are scattered throughout the residential streets, known for their kid's play areas, sports courts and dog parks, as well as an overall level of cleanliness that comes from their family-friendly suburban setting.<br><br>Southport has few shopping or dining opportunities within the neighborhood. A commercial strip sits around the Jefferson and Lake Washington intersection with a Target, Nugget Market and Lowe's, surrounded by several chain eateries. There's a pizza place, a sushi place and a quaint little British-themed neighborhood bar, but for most everything else, locals take a trip into West Sac proper or downtown Sacramento. "That's the big complaint here, that we don't have the traditional sit-down restaurants or big stores," Barajas says. "But I see it as a good thing — I'd rather head out of the neighborhood sometimes than have big crowds coming here all the time."<br><br>Bus lines run throughout Southport, connected with all of West Sac and downtown Sacramento, but most residents find it easier to drive, given the distance to nearby attractions. West Sac is 3 miles away, a popular spot to catch a baseball game at Sutter Health Park or spend an evening at the family-friendly brewery The Barn. Downtown Sacramento, with its dining options and big employers, is 7 miles away. The trip into Sacramento's center can get up to a 30-minute journey with rush hour traffic. Those in Southport also enjoy easy access to the wineries and tasting rooms of southern Yolo County.<br><br>One downside of living in West Sacramento instead of Sacramento is the difference in electricity bills. West Sacramento is served by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), whereas Sacramento residents are served by Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD). The PG&E electricity rates are often significantly higher than SMUD rates.<br><br>Southport is currently part of the FEMA Flood Zone X, which indicates only a moderate risk for flooding, so additional insurance is not required. However, West Sacramento strongly recommends that all residents have flood insurance, and the city offers federally subsidized options. The city is currently working to build and strengthen levees to keep Southport from being upgraded to a more severe FEMA flood risk. The flood protection plan is slated to be completed in 2025.
