I'm just north of town in South Natomas :-)
Natomas Park, Natomas... near the arena? We looked at homes there for a couple of years. Never did move though.
No, that's North Natomas. Much tonier. I live in the 'hood. If you move to this area, move away from the flood plain -- like, well East of here on higher ground. They tell us we've now 100 year flood protection due to levee improvements. Yeah right. They're the government and they're here to help. :-P
🙂 I thought all of Sacramento (city) was a flood plain. It may be pretty being at the convergence of 3 major rivers, but it's not dry unless engineered and we know the state of the levy system in the delta approximates that of prehurricane New Orleans.

I live near the confluence of 2 rivers - what's the 3rd to which you refer? The Feather? It's well north. The levees in this area no longer resemble those in New Orleans. Still, I don't trust em. I've lived here a long time and have seen a lot. 3 close calls with flooding teaches you a few things. When the pineapple express comes through again, or anything like it, this kid is ready to rumble.
