If you\u2019re a health-conscious renter looking for a new city to move to, Sacramento, CA is the place for you. The Farm-to-Fork capital provides a mix of beautiful, historic buildings, as well as biking trails and charming parks that are sure to leave you impressed. Luckily, there are plenty of apartments in Sacramento<\/a> to rent short-term even if you\u2019re not planning on making the city your permanent residence.<\/p>\n

On that note, below are the top five neighborhoods that are perfect for short-term renting<\/a> if you\u2019re planning on giving the City of Trees a chance:<\/p>\n

Campus Commons<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the best neighborhoods in Sacramento, Campus Commons<\/a> offers residents an urban atmosphere combined with a peaceful environment that make it especially popular with retirees. However, they\u2019re not the only ones likely to fall in love with this area. Young professionals, as well, will certainly be charmed by the neighborhood\u2019s lively mood, while students are sure to be grateful for its proximity to the university grounds.<\/p>\n

Downtown<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a busier neighborhood to appeal to your active nightlife, then look no further. From visiting the Old Sacramento Waterfront or the California State Capitol to delighting in a delicious meal at one of the many farm-to-table restaurants and bistros all around the neighborhood, the downtown area of Sacramento<\/a> is the heart of the city. What\u2019s more, the neighborhood is also very walkable and most residents here are renters!<\/p>\n

East Sacramento<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just north of Oak Park lies East Sacramento<\/a>, one of the city\u2019s most fashionable neighborhoods and home to quite a few Fabulous Forties houses that are sure to draw the eye of any architecture enthusiasts. East Sacramento is also the perfect fit for young professionals or college students with its quaint boutiques and beautiful parks, as well as its proximity to California State University.<\/p>\n

Pocket<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

Truly embodying the phrase \u201cpocketful of sunshine,\u201d this whimsically named neighborhood features a variety of houses built in the style of the 1970s and 80s, further adding to its charm. At the same time, its many parks make it a great spot for renters who want to enjoy the outdoors without compromising on the suburban vibe that characterizes the neighborhood. It\u2019s also close to downtown Sacramento, which makes outings there during the weekend a great alternative.<\/p>\n

Point West<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the smaller neighborhoods on the list, Point West<\/a> is defined by its chic high-rise buildings and apartment complexes. It\u2019s also one of the only neighborhoods where the residents are all renters, most of whom are either college students or young professionals. Although it\u2019s quite a aways from the center of the city, Point West\u2019s proximity to Cal Expo \u2014 the go-to host for some of the state\u2019s most famous fairs and festivals \u2014 more than makes up for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
