About Midtown

Comprised of twenty-four square blocks between J Street and Capitol and 16th and 24th, the Midtown neighborhood is the perfect home for anyone from homebodies to active go-getters. Ample sunlight, mild winters, dog-friendly paths and patios make it a great place for dog owners.

Around Midtown

Centrally located next door to Downtown, Midtown is a great neighborhood if you like being close to the action. Midtown itself is a multi-use neighborhood with restaurants, shops, bars, and offices mixed with Victorian-era homes on tree-lined residential streets. There are also condos and shared-living accommodations, making anywhere in Midtown a great place to live. There are a few private schools, but no public schools.

Midtown has a number of superb restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. With a diverse collection of Indian, Italian, French, Mexican and Asian restaurants, you'll find everything from vegan specialties to local favorites like the shared small-plates and sangria at Tapa the World. Local foodies shop at the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op for natural foods, bulk items, and local produce, and turn up at The Midtown Farmers Market on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for local fruits and vegetables, ready-to-eat food vendors, and live music.

Midtown residents are generally a diverse, but active crowd, always on the move. Pedestrians, strollers and pooches on leashes are an everyday sight. From early morning to late at night, residents take advantage of continuous bike lanes on streets, and plenty of wide sidewalks and crosswalks at intersections for people on foot. In addition, the Sacramento Regional Transit's light rail and bus routes run through the neighborhood and into greater Sacramento.

Midtown residents love dining and drinking with friends at local hotspots on the weekends, and many venues excel at both. For example, you can get Thai pumpkin curry, or vegan and gluten-free menu options, and then wash it down with a draft beer at the Coconut Midtown. For pub-grub, you can't beat hanging out with your friends at the outdoor Midtown BierGarten, enjoying a giant pretzel and deciding which of their 32 brews to try next, while playing cornhole and ping pong. Other bar menus offer specialty drinks such as cider ginger beer, and a selection of California draft beers and extensive wine lists.

While the rows of homes and businesses don't leave a lot of room for parks and open areas, dog-friendly Marshall park offers horseshoe pits and a playground for the kids, and Sutter's Fort State Historical Park, provides reenactments of pioneer life, exhibits, bicycle and hiking trails, a museum and picnic areas. For more active pursuits, head to Sutter's Landing Regional Park, to enjoy a skate park, basketball courts, a fenced dog park, and bicycle trails, or check out the American River Parkway's 23-mile trail connecting many parks in the county. In addition, Sacramento offers a variety of annual events and celebrations, and popular street fairs, cultural festivals, historic home tours, and art and music fests.
