Woodland is called the “City of Trees,” nicknamed as such for its many majestic oak trees. It’s the county seat of Yolo County, about a 25-minute drive northwest of California’s capital, Sacramento. Downtown and the various communities that make up this city provide a more peaceful setting, yet this is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. The county itself has been ranked as the fastest growing in California.
For those who like green space, there are over 160 acres of parks and recreation areas, not to mention close proximity to the national forest and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, bringing opportunities for some great day trips and weekend getaways. Plus with Interstate 5 running through, it’s easy to get just about anywhere from here. If you work in Sacramento you’ll have a fairly short commute – Woodland isn’t far from the State Capitol or the international airport.
But when it comes to the best places to live and rent, these Woodland apartments offer some of the top options as far as location and amenities.
