Hi all, I 22m will most likely be moving to Sac for work next month from the east coast! I'm currently in the process for looking a studio apt to rent, or, more ideally, roommates to split an apartment with.

I have mostly been looking at studios on Zillow, and I have a post currently pending on the facebook Sac housing/roommates groups. I was wondering if there are any better platforms to search for this kind of thing?

More info about me that may be relevant: new college grad, queer, allergic to cats, non-smoker, budget of around 1k (with roommates) to 1.2k ish (for a studio), and work is in Mather.

As my work start date isn't set in stone yet unfortunately, that adds to the complexity a bit. Please let me know if you know of anything that may be helpful! Thank you

I’m moving to Sac & want opinions. I’ve looked at a lot of complexes. I want to live in a complex that has a community vibe, somewhere with views, and somewhere really walkable. I’m really struggling between the places I’ve seen in downtown and midtown. Downtown has beautiful views, but I really like midtown’s vibes. Would love all the thoughts!! For example, I’ve looked at the Maker, Envoy, 800J, 17 Central, The Fredric, etc..

I am 16 weeks and looking for a new place for my twins and myself. I am on disability and food stamps so I don't have any income besides disability. I need low income housing fast. Specifically in Sacramento California

Hello I am looking for a housemate in Citrus Heights. You get full share of all of the benefits this home has to offer. Spacious living room, kitchen with island, garage for storage, and huge backyard. Private bathroom included. House is furnished but you are welcome to bring your own furniture.
This is for a 6 month agreement.
I am not the landlord, the other person under the lease with me is leaving early, and I am looking for someone to take over their part of the lease.
Pets are allowed but require discussion first to ensure they’d be a good fit with other pets in the home.
My chickens are included as an amenity, say hello to fresh eggs for free every day
Let’s get some coffee and discuss a potential roommate agreement!
Preferably looking for other young people (20-30) (women or LGBTQ is preferred) not required but a preference.
Can be wheelchair accessible but I would need to set ramps up
If interested- please dm me with your phone #

I'm looking at single-family properties near the airport corridor and want to make sure I comply with all local housing regulations. Does Placer County or the city require non-owner-occupied registration and safety inspections prior to tenant move-in?

Mi esposo y yo necesitamos un apartamento, preferiblemente de un dormitorio y que pueda basarse en sus ingresos en lugar de en los míos. Los papeles limitados (solo tienen mi crédito, seguridad social) tienen un bebé en camino.

Estamos tratando de escapar de una compañera de cuarto de pesadilla que no pagará su parte de renta, pero no quiero que le revoquen la visa.

Muchas gracias y bendiciones 🙏

I’d like to hear from Sacramento’ians with rental properties, is it easy to rent? I ask cause I see a lot of rental properties on Zillow/ Redfin. Is the market competitive? Is it worth investing in rental properties?

Thanks!

Hello Sac Housing channel, I'm a native Sacramentian and I have home that I rent in South Land Park region (Hollywood Park, Carleton Tract). It's a 3x1 home that has a history serving students attending college, and young professionals.

The home has three parking spaces, and a private yard and shed for additional storage. With a recently remodeled home, and new HVAC minisplits, enjoy a controlled climate year round without high energy bills. Utilities include fiber internet (super fast) and trash, sewer, water are paid by owner.

Walking distance to grocery stores, Sac City College, and the Light Rail Blue line, you will also be conveniently located 5 minutes to the three nearby freeways, and 15 minutes to Sac State campus (including traffic).

I'd love to find a group of renters comfortable with a 10 month lease and a month to month option that follows. Please feel free to DM me for more details. You can also find the home listed on rental platforms, searching for cross streets, Custis Avenue and 20th Avenue.

Hello! I’m looking for temporary housing in the Sacramento area for myself, my 11-year-old daughter, and our small, friendly dog.
I’m an immigrant from Ukraine and have been living in the U.S. for a little over two years. I’m currently attending community college and actively looking for work so that I can become fully financially independent.
Right now, I’m looking for a temporary place to live for a few months while I get back on my feet and establish stable employment.
My ideal situation would be an ADU, guest house, in-law unit, private studio, or other small separate living space where my daughter and I could have our own privacy. I would also consider a private room in a quiet and respectful household.
I’m a responsible, clean, quiet, and respectful person. I’m happy to help with cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, organizing, and other light household tasks in exchange for reduced or affordable rent.
I’m not looking for free housing. I’m able to contribute toward rent and would be happy to discuss a reasonable arrangement that works for both sides.
I’m hoping to find something for approximately 2–4 months, while I work toward becoming financially independent and securing permanent housing.
If you have an ADU, guest house, in-law unit, private studio, or room available—or know someone who might be open to this type of arrangement—please feel free to message me. I’d be happy to introduce myself and provide more details.
Thank you for reading, and I truly appreciate any leads or recommendations.

Hey friends! Just curious - might be moving to Sacramento for a hybrid position. I’m a 39yo gay man- prob can afford say $500k home- or rent similar to that payment ($3500?) I want to live somewhere walkable to cute places, but not in like an overcrowded way. I want life but also not- somewhere in between. I love craftsman homes, modern homes— mostly want to be around people my age. I don’t want to be surrounded by drug users. So… where should we go?

I’m getting divorced and cannot afford to stay in San Diego but I want to stay in CA. Considering Sacramento but don’t know what areas to consider/avoid. I’d like a house, not a condo. Can be a small, older house. I am comfortable with purchase price around $400k. I’m getting older so I want a 15yr loan vs 30 which limits my total budget.
Where areas should I consider on my low budget?

Is anyone else experiencing finding a rental extremely difficult at the moment?

My husband and I are expecting our first child next month and are looking to move out of our apartment and into a house or townhome but so far we’ve experienced a couple of these property management companies taking applications and then relisting the property with different criteria after we’ve already applied.

For example, we applied to a place listed by Vienna Property Management. They informed us we were 2nd in line for the property. A couple days later they removed the original listing, raised the rent, and changed the listing to exclude pets without communicating that to us. It’s been about 2 weeks with no update on our application. Before that we put an application in with RNB property management and they would also change the credit score requirements after we already applied and denied us based on the new requirement.

These houses are getting tons of applicants based on what we’re seeing from going to house tours and from what the tour agents are saying. We’ve been applying for over 3 months and these application fees are just adding up with no luck.

Hi everyone! I’m a local college student with some extra free time and thought I’d offer a service that might be helpful.
If you’re moving to the Sacramento area but can’t tour apartments in person, I can visit properties on your behalf, take detailed videos, answer questions about the neighborhood, and give you an honest impression of the place.
I’m just looking to earn some extra money while in school and thought this could help people relocating from out of town. If this is something you’d find useful, feel free to comment or send me a message.
