OUR COMMUNITY Yuba County is situated in the Northern Sacramento Valley, approximately 40 miles north of the State Capital in Sacramento and two hours away from San Francisco and Lake Tahoe.

From hiking to biking through the ‘world’s smallest mountain range’ the Sutter Buttes; fishing the rivers; boating in our reservoirs; hunting; bird-watching at Gray Lodge Wildlife Area along the Pacific Flyway. In addition, annual events around the County include the Yuba City Summer and Christmas Strolls, the Peach Festival, the Live Oak Festival, 4th of July Parade, the Nicolaus Labor Day Parade and the Yuba-Sutter Fair. Our communities have that small town feel so many people are seeking. With a population just over 78,200 people, residents enjoy relaxed living and affordable housing, while both ocean beaches and mountain skiing are only a couple of hours away. The area offers its residents the many advantages of a rural lifestyle away from the pressures of the urban areas. |
