Orangevale (population: 26,705) is a unique community located in the unincorporated area of Sacramento County. Named for the orange groves that once populated area, this rural and semi urban community has been able to preserve its identity amidst the growth in Sacramento and Placer Counties. By maintaining a slow and steady growth, Orangevale residents have been able to preserve its rural community characteristics. It can be said that it is not uncommon to see horses sharing the road in Orangevale.

The community of Orangevale northeast of downtown Sacramento gained its name years ago because of its orange groves. Today those groves are gone -- killed by a devastating frost in 1930 --but the community has kept growing.

This quiet agricultural community nestled between Citrus Heights, Folsom and Fair Oaks has some of the best views of mountain vistas and is home to many native oaks that populate the area. Adjacent to the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, Orangevale residents and visitors can partake recreational activities nearby such as viewing the bluffs on the American River, to visiting the Nimbus fish hatchery, to playing sports at the Orangevale Community Park.
