Auburn
 Some
people just stop in Auburn on their
way up Highway 80 to Lake Tahoe
but other people are more fortunate
-- they live here. People
who like foothill living have made
Auburn their home. The home
styles range from vintage homes
near Old Town (Virtual
Tour - Old Town Auburn) and
Downtown Auburn, to new construction
within and just outside the city
limits (Virtual
Tour - Vintage Oaks).
Size of homes range from small cottages,
homes on golf courses, 5 to 10+
acre parcels, custom and semi-custom
homes.
Auburn is close enough to downtown
Sacramento to allow a commute to
work and even closer to the high
tech facilities in Roseville, Rocklin
and Folsom.

| Auburn
offers the small town atmosphere
so many are looking for nowadays.
There is always something happening
at the Fairgrounds - The Gold Country
Fair in September, Rodeo in April,
Auburn Home Shows in May and September;
in Old Town -- Antiques and Collectibles
Street fairs in May and October;
in Downtown -- the Black and White
Ball in September and Cruise Nights
one Friday a month brings out the
old time cars and old time fun.
The Farmers Market happens every
Saturday in the Court House parking
lot. The world famous runs and rides
including the legendary Western
States 100 Mile Endurance Run, the
Tevis Cup 100 Mile Horseback Ride,
the Cool Mountain Bike Race and
the Cool Canyon Crawl give even
the most energetic a good workout.
The Auburn State Recreation Area
is a wonderful place to get away
from it all. Hiking, biking, and
riding trails crisscross the area.
Two forks of the American River
come together a short distance from
downtown Auburn and the area has
become a favorite place to soak
up the sun on hot summer days. There
is a boat launching ramp for Folsom
Lake just down Auburn-Folsom road
at Rattlesnake Bar, lots of river
rafting opportunities and of course,
the fishing is great. You can be
snow skiing in less than two hours
or over the hill to Reno, which
is only about 100 miles away, for
a show in about the same time.
Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital and
its affiliated physicians provide
residents with full service hospital
and medical services.
