Looking to make a move to Loomis? You won't regret it. There's many reasons why people love living in Loomis and we are going to share the top ten reasons why you'll never want to leave.
1. Loomis Has Lots of Open Space:
Loomis used to be an even quieter town, but as more growth happens, some of that feel is traded for more industry, shopping areas, restaurants and schools. But, despite all of this growth, Loomis has fought hard to maintain lots of open space and larger lots for houses than many neighboring towns. This continues to give Loomis its quieter, more rural feel.
2. Loomis Has Tons of Local Places:
If you're tired of seeing the same strip mall and chain restaurants everywhere you go, you'll love Loomis. Local mom and pop places thrive here. Just take a peek at some of the delicious food at LBB Gastropub & Smokehouse! We just shared this pic over on our Instagram.
Mouthwatering, right? And, there's more where that came from. You'll find a lot of local places with tons of heart, character, and delicious food right here in town.
And, you'll still have easy access to anything else you could need and want, too, for those necessary trips to Target or Starbucks.
3. Loomis Has More Affordable Housing:
If you've been following our market reports on our Instagram, you'll probably see a theme. The housing market in the Sacramento area, including Loomis, are still more affordable than other impacted areas like the Bay Area and Southern California.
The median home price in Loomis is $650,000 and rent is $1400. This means you'll be able to find options both lower and higher than these amounts.

6. Loomis Offers Many Job Opportunities:
While Loomis is on the smaller side, it still offers many job opportunities. But, the accessibility to plenty of nearby towns is where you'll really find a lot of options if you're on the job hunt.
And, since the area is less impacted, you may find less competition when applying for jobs. Of course, as many companies allow for working from home now, you may be looking for a larger home with a home office instead, in which case, Loomis will give you a nice quiet place to work from home.
