Kinda halfway in between Sacramento area and Chico, a little closer to Sacramento actually. It's an old, small town in the foothills, in the "gold country". Kind of a quaint old historic town. Also it is right next to Grass Valley they kinda run together.

Nevada City is at least two hours away from Chico and probably that far from Sacramento (considering the traffic). It's a pretty little town that has managed to keep its historical charm. It is also expensive.

I agree. It is expensive. Me and my wife vacationed there about 4 years ago. back then it was quaint, cute, and seemingly authentic. We returned last year and low and behold- candle shops and Bimmer galore.

I wish I had moved there 30 years ago. It is truly one of the finest communities of people in the country.
