Enjoy seeing 1 2 3 or more bedroom Condos for sale in Sacramento and Placer County CA via Kaye Swain neighborhood real estate agent and blogger 400

Condos can also be terrific for downsizing boomers and seniors who don't want to stay as busy keeping a big home clean and are also ready to give up yard maintenance.
