About the Community of North Natomas

The North Natomas area consists of 7,388 acres and emerges directly north of downtown Sacramento. At buildout, North Natomas is projected to have 32,500 dwelling units with a population of 66,000 residents and 71,000 employees.

The North Natomas Community is designed with a network of transit services, including a future light rail system with six stations, major bus service and a shuttle. In addition, the community area will have linear parkways with pedestrian trails, on-street bike lanes along all major streets and off-street bike trails along all drainage canals. Two interstate freeways- I-5 and Interstate-80 also serve the area.

The City of Sacramento envisions a new urban form for North Natomas consisting of an well-integrated mixture of land uses, interdependent on quality transit service. Fourteen neighborhoods surround the Town Center. It is hoped that the Town Center will be the heart of the community. Most of the surrounding neighborhoods will have an elementary school as its focal point, and will include a full range of activity centers, like parks and commercial, civic, and transit services. Employment centers will be located along transit and freeway corridors. The Sacramento International Airport is just three miles from the North Natomas Community.
