North Sacramento is an urban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Sacramento, California.

North Sacramento real estate is primarily made up of small (studio to two bedroom) to medium sized (three or four bedroom) single-family homes and apartment complexes/high-rise apartments. Most of the residential real estate is occupied by a mixture of owners and renters. Many of the residences in the North Sacramento neighborhood are older, well-established, built between 1940 and 1969. A number of residences were also built between 1970 and 1999.

North Sacramento has a 12.7% vacancy rate, which is well above average compared to other U.S. neighborhoods (higher than 66.4% of American neighborhoods). This could either signal that there is weak demand for real estate in the neighborhood, or that much of the housing stock is seasonally occupied, which can occur in some markets dominated by colleges or vacation homes. Either way, if you live here year round, you will find many of the homes or apartments are empty for all or a portion of the year.

The Neighbors The Neighbors: Income
