The North Natomas area consists of 7,388 acres and is a new, emerging growth area directly north of downtown Sacramento. About 1,500 homes will be built in the area this year. At buildout, North Natomas is projected to have 32,500 dwelling units with a population of 66,000 residents and 71,000 employees.

The North Natomas Community is designed with a network of transit services, including a future light rail system with six stations, major bus service and a shuttle. In addition, the community area will have linear parkways with pedestrian trails, on-street bike lanes along all major streets and off-street bike trails along all drainage canals. Two interstate freeways- I-5 and Interstate-80 also serve the area.

The City of Sacramento envisions a new urban form for North Natomas consisting of an well-integrated mixture of land uses, interdependent on quality transit service. Fourteen neighborhoods surround the Town Center. The Town Center will be the heart of the community. Each of the surrounding neighborhoods has an elementary school as its focal point, includes a full range of activity centers, like parks, commercial, civic, and transit services. Employment centers will be located along transit and freeway corridors. The Sacramento International Airport is just three miles from the North Natomas Community.
