About this listen

With its growing economy, central location, and access to higher education, the Greater Sacramento Area is home to a wide range of colleges and universities — and for buyers, sellers, and investors, understanding where these campuses are located can help guide smart real estate decisions. In this episode of Time to Buy or Sell, we explore the major colleges in the Sacramento region, who they serve, and where people are choosing to live nearby.

We cover a variety of institutions including:

  • California State University, Sacramento (Sac State) – a top public university near East Sacramento

  • University of California, Davis (UC Davis) – just outside the region but heavily connected to Sacramento’s housing market

  • American River College, Cosumnes River College, Folsom Lake College, and Sierra College – part of the Los Rios Community College District

  • William Jessup University, Sacramento City College, and local trade schools

Whether you're a student, a parent buying for your college-bound child, a professor, or an investor looking for rental property opportunities, this episode provides insight into how colleges impact housing demand in areas like East Sacramento, Midtown, Folsom, Rocklin, and Davis.

We also discuss:

  • Where students, staff, and faculty typically live based on commute and pricing

  • How college enrollment trends can influence long-term housing demand

  • The pros and cons of investing near campuses (including dorm vs. off-campus housing)

  • Tips for buyers relocating to attend or work for local colleges

From first-time buyers looking near Folsom Lake College to investors targeting properties around Sac State or UC Davis, this episode offers key insights into how higher education shapes local real estate decisions in and around Sacramento.
