California's state capital is a thriving political center. It’s also a growing region, with many shopping, entertainment, and recreational attractions. Sacramento offers urban, rural, and suburban living options with affordable housing and plentiful outdoor activities—including world-class skiing at nearby Lake Tahoe.

Just 30 minutes northeast of Sacramento, the Sierra Foothills region is steeped in history, legend, and romance. The heart of the 1849 California Gold Rush, it’s a place where today, nature and wholesome living attract newcomers interested in a more relaxed lifestyle than you can find in the bigger metropolitan areas. A slower pace, scenic views, and a neighborly spirit are hallmarks of living in the Sierra Foothills.

The Central Valley region extends from the Sacramento Valley to the San Joaquin Valley, bordered by the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east and the Coast Ranges to the west. It represents a thriving agricultural region dotted with many new and growing communities. Affordable housing and abundant nearby recreational attractions—including world-famous Yosemite National Park—have drawn many to its hometown atmosphere and friendly neighborhoods.

You know its features by heart, even if you’ve never set foot in the City by the Bay. The stunning Golden Gate Bridge, colorful Victorian architecture, dramatic hills and bayside views, some of the country’s best dining, exciting cultural attractions, museums, entertainment, and much more. All packed into just 49 square miles, making it one of the most accessible big cities anywhere—and the perfect place to live and work. San Francisco is also home to one of the largest acute care hospitals in our network.

Across the San Francisco Bay Bridge, the East Bay invites you in with diverse communities and vibrant neighborhoods. Fed by the artistic and intellectual culture of nearby UC Berkeley, the area offers great dining, entertainment, shopping, and sports, including the NBA champion Golden State Warriors. The East Bay is also home to seven Sutter Health facilities.

On the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge, you’re welcome to explore a place many refer to as the land of enchantment. The North Bay presents unbelievable beauty, rugged coast canyons, rolling woodlands, and a variety of microclimates. It’s also in the backyard of California’s famous wine country.

Extending from South San Francisco and the Silicon Valley to Santa Cruz, the Peninsula/South Bay is a region full of inspiration—from coastal vistas to the giants of technology, to world-renowned educational institutions. It is a place where new ideas continue to shape the world. Neighborly communities, excellent schools, and award-winning hospitals—including our own—also make this a highly attractive location for those who like living on the leading edge.
