Elk Grove Real Estate

In southern Sacramento County, halfway between Sacramento and Stockton, is the recently incorporated (2000) community of Elk Grove. Elk Grove's burgeoning population, estimated by the U.S. Census in 2004 at 135,480 residents, is diverse in ethnicity, age, and income levels. Responding to that diversity, Elk Grove real estate offers everything from starter homes to ranch estates.

Elk Grove was established in 1850 as a hotel and stage coach stop, and it wasn't long until the town became a crossroads for business, entertainment and agriculture, as well as a popular home base for gold miners. Today, mixing in with existing vineyards, dairy and cattle ranches, wildlife preserves, parks and golf courses, you'll find high tech, professional service, commercial and retail enterprises.

All Elk Grove real estate is within the Elk Grove Unified School District, the 8th largest in California. The district has a reputation as one of the best in the state with its students, as a whole, posting scores above the state average. Consumnes River College is near the city's northern border and other junior colleges, colleges, universities and vocational schools, including California State University, Sacramento; University of California, Davis; and McGeorge School of Law, are within easy driving distance.

The climate here is similar to Sacramento's, with temperatures that range from lows of 24 to 44 degrees in the winter, to highs of 80 to 110 degrees in the summer. Average rainfall is 22 inches.
