The development story of Carmichael began in 1910 when Dan Carmichael offered 10-acre lots for $1,500. Today it is a fully developed community of about 50,000 approximately 10 miles northeast of downtown Sacramento. It is located along the north side of the historic American River and Interstate 50 and is also short commute to the Mather and Folsom areas.

Carmichael is a 10 square mile unincorporated community of Sacramento County, located 10 miles northeast of downtown Sacramento along the north side of the American River. The first settlers of Carmichael lived on 10-acre parcels that were farmed. Following World War II, Carmichael?s rural character began changing to that of a sprawling suburban bedroom community that grew rapidly. Fair Oaks Boulevard was transformed from a rural thoroughfare to a 2 mile-long business district. Some of the remaining signs of early Carmichael days are the palm trees along Palm Drive, planted around 1913.

Close to American River College, Carmichael residents enjoy Ancil Hoffman Park along the American River, which includes a golf course, picnic areas and the Effie Yeaw Nature Center, which provides nature programs. Other Carmichael highlights include the Jensen Botanical Gardens, with rare hybrids of camellias, dogwoods, azaleas and rhododendrons, and the Chautauqua Playhouse, offering a full season of theatrical works.

A complete range of homes are available, from apartments and townhouses to beautiful residences overlooking the American River and its parkway.
