We moved here when I was nine. My parents wanted to settle in a town that was central to all kinds of activities, but still had a small-town feel. Close to skiing without living in the snow and close to San Francisco without the congestion. Auburn fit the bill for those and a few other reasons (including the Mexican food!).
Although I left Auburn for stints in Santa Barbara, the Bay Area and Truckee, I've been happily back in Auburn for years, and I consider it "home." I appreciate it for all the reasons it appealed to my parents back in the 70s. We have everything we need so close to home: recreation, shopping, restaurants, nature, and yet we enjoy it all with less traffic, pollution, noise and inconvenience than our larger-city neighbors experience.
The best part about Auburn is that we can choose from an amazing variety of homes in just a 10-mile radius. Do you want a canyon view, a horse ranch, a vineyard, a quaint Craftsman home in town? It's all right here!
I love Auburn. I can't think of anywhere I'd rather live (though of course, an island somewhere does hold a certain appeal!). I look forward to sharing more of what I love about our town with you here in the coming days.
Make this your Hometown!
