With Zeel\u2019s recent expansion<\/a> into the Sacramento Metro Area, we\u2019ve been thinking about all the reasons why we love Sactown \u2014 and why you should too.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re considering taking the leap to the west coast, or simply paying a visit for vacation, here are seven reasons why Sacramento is the place to be right now.<\/p>\n

The weather is similar to the Mediterranean<\/h2>\n

Sick of frigid winters? Sacramento is sunny and hot for most of the year, and cools down just enough in the winter so you can still experience a subtle change of seasons. You definitely won\u2019t have to worry about snow (maybe once a decade). Sure, a lot of California destinations tend to be sunny and temperate year-round, and if you\u2019re from the Northeast or Midwest, you could migrate anywhere south of the Mason Dixon to escape the cold. But Sacramento has a certain type of weather that seems to draw people in from all over, similar to that of the Mediterranean. Some even call it the best climate in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s walkable and bikeable<\/h2>\n

A lot of people are relocating to San Francisco<\/a> these days (a move we\u2019re completely in favor of here at Zeel \u2013 one of our offices is located there!). But SF can be an uphill battle in several ways. Getting around can be challenging if you\u2019re the type to enjoy a leisurely stroll or bike ride. The 45-degree angle hills will certainly work your calf muscles and quads. If you\u2019re looking for an easier town to get around, you\u2019ll enjoy Sacramento\u2019s flatter terrain.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also more affordable<\/h2>\n

San Francisco is one of the most expensive places to live in the United States. Nearby Sacramento, not so much. The average rent for an apartment in San Francisco was $3,150 per month in January 2017 vs $1,151 in Sacramento, according data from rentcafe.com. If you\u2019re in the market to buy, a single-family home in Sacramento starts around $300,000. In San Francisco, it\u2019s nearly four times the cost, with a median home value of $1,194,300 according to Zillow.<\/p>\n

An entry-level job at Bay Area tech employers like Uber or Twitter might sound glamorous, but Sacramento also offers great employment opportunities with a much more reasonable cost of living. For example, Sacramento suburb Elk Grove has an Apple campus with over 1,800 employees, more than 1% of the city\u2019s population. Millennials are buying up Elk Grove property like hotcakes. Just try to do that in the Bay.<\/p>\n

You can spend weekends at Lake Tahoe<\/h2>\n

Sacramento is located within prime proximity to many scenic weekend trips \u2014 Lake Tahoe being one of the most famous. Here, you can ski and snowboard in the winter season, parasail and jet ski during the warmer months, and soak in the beautiful views anytime. (You can also enjoy a Zeel in-home massage in Lake Tahoe<\/a> 365 days a year.)<\/p>\n

Here are some other beauties worth seeing that are a stone\u2019s throw from Sactown:<\/p>\n
