If you're searching for a budget-friendly place to live in the Sacramento area without sacrificing access to schools and family-friendly neighborhoods, Citrus Heights deserves your attention. In this episode of Time to Buy or Sell, we explore the public school options available in Citrus Heights, how they shape the local real estate market, and what buyers should know when shopping in this central Sacramento suburb.

Citrus Heights is served by the San Juan Unified School District, which spans much of northeastern Sacramento County. The district offers a wide range of K-12 programs, from traditional public schools to magnet and academy-style campuses. While some schools are continuing to improve, others already stand out for their community involvement, academic progress, and extracurricular offerings.

We highlight several important campuses, including:

• Lichen K-8, known for its small class sizes and inclusive campus culture

• Kingswood K-8, offering transitional kindergarten through middle grades on one site

• Sylvan Middle School, which serves a large portion of the city

• Mesa Verde High School and San Juan High School, both of which serve different sides of the city with distinct academic strengths

In this episode, we also discuss:

• Which neighborhoods offer the best balance of school access and home affordability

• How Citrus Heights compares to nearby Fair Oaks, Orangevale, and Roseville in terms of school reputation

• What to look for if you're a first-time buyer focused on future school performance

• Why investors are also keeping an eye on Citrus Heights as the area evolves

Whether you're upgrading to a larger home, downsizing near family, or searching for a neighborhood with schools that match your goals, Citrus Heights may offer more than you expect — especially when you pair school zones with local real estate insight.
