North Highlands, a census-designated place in Sacramento County, combines suburban comfort with metropolitan convenience. Located just northeast of Sacramento, this 8.8-square-mile community offers rental rates below the California state average, with one-bedroom apartments typically around $1,185 per month compared to the state average of $2,179.
The community centers around McClellan Business Park, a thriving commercial hub developed from the historic McClellan Air Force Base.
