I'm not specifically familiar with the neighborhood, but it looks like it's on the far west side of No.Natomas & all the newer development. My only concern would be that it sits in the flood plain. In 2008, the protection level was changed. See below....

Here's some websites to check for the current status: SAFCA :: Sacramento Regional Flood Control Agency

The old 2008 report: http://www.strategiceconomicresearch...masImpacts.pdf

Natomas Flood Insurance Facts (published by an insurance company): Frequently Asked Questions by Natomas residents about flood insurance.

FEMA is in the process of rezoning Natomas as an AE (High-Risk) flood zone
  • On January 15, 2008 the Federal Government announced that they would change the flood zone in Natomas from a preferred X zone to an AE flood hazard zone. A study conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers indicated that the levies surrounding Natomas, CA do not meet the minimum requirements for a preferred X flood zone and therefore FEMA announced that they will place Natomas in an AE(High-Risk) flood zone. When the new flood maps are finalized and Natomas is officially designated as an AE flood zone on December 8, 2008, all properties with a federally backed loan will be required to purchase a flood insurance policy.
  • If you live in Natomas flood insurance is mandatory. When Natomas is rezoned, it will become a high-risk zone and anyone who has received a federal or federally backed loan for property in Natomas will be forced to purchase flood insurance (at the higher rate if they do not attain it prior to the rezoning at the Preferred Risk Rate)
  • When the final flood zone maps are completed in December 2008 and Natomas is officially designated as an AE flood zone, property owners who have a federally backed loan will be required to purchase flood insurance and annual rates for the same flood insurance policy a property owner could purchase today for as little as $348 will rise to approximately $1,390. That is over four times the current rate for the exact same flood insurance policy!
Other than that, it seems to be a fairly decent area. There's lots of shopping at:
Natomas Marketplace off Truxel Natomas Marketplace :: Sacramento Shopping Destination near Truxel and I-80 ,
Park Place shopping center on Natomas Blvd Natomas -http://www.planmygetaway.com/destina...hopping-center ,
Sacramento Gateway off Truxel http://www.sacramentogateway.com/mim...easing0510.pdf ,
and there's lots of other little shopping centers in the area.
