Get to know Auburn.

A feel for everyday life.

Put both Downtown and Old Town on your first visit. The local events calendar includes markets, music and seasonal gatherings. Check the organizer details before making plans, then leave some time simply to walk and see what you would return to.

The county museum program offers self-guided walking and driving tours of Old Town and Downtown Auburn. Those can give a visit more context than a quick coffee stop between showings. Pick a route that fits your time and check the terrain if walking access is important to you.

For groceries, the Auburn Old Town farmers market is one option listed by the local events calendar and PlacerGROWN. Compare it with the other markets in the area rather than treating a ranking as a fact. The best market for your household is one you can use regularly.

Be careful with the word Auburn on a listing. North Auburn and nearby county communities are not the same as the incorporated city. That is why this guide gives North Auburn its own entry. Confirm the parcel jurisdiction and service providers before relying on a city program or an address-based assumption.

If a hillside home catches your eye, include the driveway, drainage, roof, trees and access in your inspection plan. Get property-specific insurance information early. Then test the actual drive to work or regular appointments. You can enjoy a foothill setting while still being clear about the time and maintenance a particular home will need.

Make a visit more than a house tour.

Before you choose a home.

• City of Auburn and North Auburn are different jurisdictions.
• Obtain an insurance quote for the specific home early.
• Consider slopes, access and drainage during inspections.

Visit at more than one time of day. Check insurance availability, utilities, total property charges and commute conditions for the specific address before removing contingencies.
