East Sacramento Homes Photo Gallery
It amazes me that many people think the capital of California is Los Angeles. Even in my adopted state of 35 million residents, some of them, if asked to quickly name the capital, draw a blank. And half of those who do realize that the capital is Sacramento don't know where it is. Just for the record, Sacramento is located approximately 90 minutes north and east from San Francisco.
Sacramento is in the Central Valley, tucked at the confluence of the largest river in the state, the Sacramento River, with its tributary, the American River.
Located just south of the American River and east of Midtown is a delightful community known as East Sacramento. It's within walking distance of downtown. Many of the homes were built in the 1920s and 1930s, and are filled with Old World vintage details such as curved archways, stained and leaded glass windows, and richly appointed woodwork.
The photograph shown here is of the East Sacramento home where Ronald Reagan lived while he was Governor of California. It's hard to believe that the Reagans paid only $1,200 a month to rent it in 1967, especially when it last sold in 2000 for $1,765,000. It's easily worth twice that today . . . view a photo gallery of East Sacramento Homes.

Thanks for the great post. Just wanted to say that the Mississippi River is the largest river in the United States, not the Sacramento.
And I have hopped across the Mississippi at its headwaters at Lake Itasca but my fingers typed United in front of state. Thank you for pointing that out. The Sacramento River is the largest and the longest river in the state.
