Housing characteristics in Sacramento
Sacramento mixes historic bungalows and Victorians with large amounts of postwar suburban housing and newer master-planned communities. The climate combines very hot summers with a strong homeowner focus on comfort, making HVAC, insulation, windows, roofing, and shading upgrades especially common. In lower-lying areas near the river system, drainage and site planning can matter more than homeowners initially expect.
