If you’re considering Northern California as your next home, be sure to consider the lovely town of Wheatland. Resting at the edge of the spectacular Sacramento Valley, Wheatland offers small-town charm and boasts breathtaking natural landscapes, rich local agriculture, and more. Read on for our top 8 reasons why you should consider calling Wheatland your new home.
1. Affordability
If you love the idea of urban attractions but not the expense, Wheatland could be an excellent option for you. While the city is located just 36 miles from Sacramento, that short drive makes a big difference in terms of home prices: As of July 2022, Zillow reports that the average home value in Wheatland is about $484k, compared to $511k in nearby Sacramento.
2. Safety
For families with young children, or anyone who’d like to rest easy in their new home, safety is another of Wheatland’s strong points. According to Sperling’s Best Places, Wheatland’s violent crime ranking of 12.6 (out of 100) is half that of the violent crime ranking for the state of California, and Wheatland’s property crime ranking is 40% less than the California average. Compared to Sacramento, Wheatland’s violent crime rate is 64% below average, with a property crime rate that’s 52% less than Sacramento’s.
3. Small-town charm
In Wheatland, small-town charm is everywhere you look. Stroll through the historic downtown, drop by the Wheatland History Museum, and explore the town’s rich history in the heart of gold rush country. Pick up all the necessities at neighborhood mom and pop stores, and spend the afternoon browsing thrift stores, vintage markets, and more. Enjoy a tranquil pace of life with a unique character.
4. Entertainment and Local Cuisine
You don’t have to leave Wheatland for some of the biggest names and events in entertainment, thanks to the glittering Toyota Amphitheatre; unforgettable live music and exciting shows will be just outside your doorstep year-round.
Have dinner before the show at one of Wheatland’s unique local restaurants, or pick up farm-fresh produce at the Wheatland Fruit Stand.
Better yet — head to Salle Orchards, Bishop’s Pumpkin Farm, or the nearby Marysville Peach Festival to enjoy the best of local agriculture.
Not to mention a variety of local wine and brew houses nearby.
5. Nature and Recreation
Whether you’d rather hike, stargaze, camp, go horseback riding, or all of the above, you’ll have plenty of options in Wheatland. Nestled at the base of the Sierra foothills, the bustling Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, offers all these activities and more.
Or spend the day taking in the natural beauty of Camp Far West Lake recreation area.

Sample Sacramento’s vibrant dining and entertainment options, try your luck at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Sacramento, or visit the California Automobile Museum, just to name a few ideas. Families with children will love the Sacramento Children’s Museum, Powerhouse Science Center, or the Sacramento Zoo for an afternoon that’s both educational and fun.
