North Highlands, CA Apartments for Rent

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. The business park now houses a civilian airport and numerous enterprises, contributing to the area's economic growth. North Highlands is part of the Twin Rivers Unified School District, with several public and charter schools serving the community.

The proximity to downtown Sacramento provides residents access to the state capitol, medical centers, and cultural attractions while maintaining a more relaxed suburban setting. Major thoroughfares connect North Highlands to the broader Sacramento metropolitan area, making commuting convenient for residents.
