Not everyone is wired for big city living and the Sacramento Metropolitan Area residential population is a prime example. Though the population of California’s Capitol City is 485,355, the metro area accounts for another 1,973,156 residents. Consequently, more than four times the census of Sacramento live in the suburbs, which is a normal trend across the US. Placer County plays a major role in the state’s fourth largest metro area. Located at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains – the cities of Roseville, Rocklin and Lincoln are a straight shot to Sacramento via Interstate-80 and accessible by light rail. Aside from offering a smaller, hometown feel, these cities in Placer County pack a lot of lifestyle punch, which includes tons of shopping, dining and culture as well as championship golf, wineries, breweries, casino action and more.
