We moved to Citrus Heights in 2000 from the Bay Area. It was recommended to us by three different…read morepeople, on three separate occasions, who knew the Sacramento area. So, we found a beautiful, wide and quiet street in Citrus Heights, conveniently located a couple of miles from I-80 for a 13 mile commute into Sacramento, surrounded by convenience, such as grocery stores and the Sunrise Mall, along with Bird Cage, a decent school district, parks with swimming pools, Little League, and nicely maintained middle class neighborhoods. At the time we bought, Citrus Heights had just incorporated three years before. Our real estate agent told us that it was improving. Improve it has! In the eleven years we've lived here, there has been many beautification projects along the main through ways like Greenback Lane, sculptural art established on the main corridors of Auburn and Greenback, as well as roads widened, parks installed, a new community center that is state of the art, lots of lovely trees and pretty red roses have been planted, and new businesses established, like Costco, and Sam's Club, and soon, Sprouts Farmers' Market, among others. Citrus Heights now has its own police department, too, as one reviewer noted. The things I personally like about Citrus Heights, however, is that the best restaurant in the Sacramento region is here, Bamiyan, an Afghan restaurant that is as delicious as it is unique. The Farmers' Market behind Sears at the Sunrise Mall on Saturday mornings is the happiest hour I spend all week buying my produce. They have everything, including eggs and meats, and of course, a wonderful smorgasbord of yummy homegrown organic and non-organic produce, and it seems we have more varied vendors every time I go. I also love the fact that I came across some graffiti in the park near our house and called a hot-line, and it was gone within 24 hours. Things like that are taken seriously here. Additionally, the City government is fiscally responsible. Citrus Heights is in great shape, and it has improved and gotten better every year we've been here. Now they're redoing San Juan High School. I want to congratulate Citrus Heights for all the good things I've seen happening here in the past decade. I am proud of Citrus Heights and I applaud all the people who are making it happen.
