The town of Chico, California charmingly combines both rural terrains and urban areas. Located in the northern part of the state, the town sees the sun frequently, while still enjoying chilly weather in fall and winter. Downtown Chico is picturesque and historic, with many locally owned businesses and restaurants to explore. It also has several public parks, such as the City Plaza.
Many young people live in Chico year-round, as it's home to two large universities. Academic scholars and spirited students from California State University, Chico, and Butte College populate the town with rich culture. The town aesthetic matches the state university, and its large size helps create a bridge between locals and students.
This town is also a great place for young professionals, families, and older folks seeking community. With successful education and health care systems, this town provides both ample social support and cultural amenities. Some of the most popular activities take place at Bidwell Mansion State Park, the Gateway Science Museum, and the weekly farmer's market occurring year-round.
One of the biggest draws to the "City of Roses" is its proximity to other amazing places in California. If you want to explore the Bay Area's urban hub, you can take a three-hour drive to San Francisco. Those who prefer the mountains are just a short journey away from several scenic locations. Take a two-hour drive to Lake Tahoe to swim or ski or a four-hour drive to Yosemite National Park, where you can hike, picnic, or camp overnight. The proximity to the state’s natural attractions and urban areas make Chico a prime location for California living.
As of today, Chico's median rent price is $1,500 per month, roughly unchanged from last year.
