Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live on a cul de sac of nice homes that is a short walk to the charming Fair Oaks Village with a wonderful delicatessen, brew pub, Mexican Restaurant, antiques stores, and shops. The adjacent park has a playground, and an amphitheater that from June through September has free movies, concerts etc. The American River is a short walk from our home. Fishermen catch salmon, steelhead , shad, and striped bass seasonally. The famous American River Parkway is accessed at this point where one can walk, run, or bike to Sacramento to the west or Folsom to the east. The trail along the River is over 20 miles. One can also walk to 2 different yoga studios and a fabulous Thai restaurant. Bike rentals and raft rentals are 2 minutes from the
house.
