Auburn California Real Estate
Located 30 miles east of Sacramento, Auburn is a small town that calls itself "The Endurance Capital of the World." The nickname comes from the 100-mile races between Auburn and Lake Tahoe — one for horses and riders and the other for runners. Its Gold Rush heritage is part of the community life and reflected in Historic Auburn and the Auburn Wild West Stampede.
With more than 12,000 residents, and located at an elevation of about 1,000 feet, Auburn enjoys a climate that puts it above the winter fog of the Central Valley and below the snow of the higher Sierra Nevada mountains.
Outdoor recreation is a hallmark of Auburn. The Auburn State Recreation Area and the American River Canyon offer horseback riding trails, trail hiking, and guided nature trail hikes. White water rafting and kayaking, lake boating, river and lake fishing, mountain biking, and camping are easily accessible. Auburn is also the doorway into the Sierra Nevada foothills which offer skiing, hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities. The Bear River and American River offer water activities almost year-round.
Auburn is well served by shopping centers, as well as by speciality and antique stores.
