Chico's charm is hard to match - home to one of the largest municipal parks in the United States, Chico is ranked as the no. 1 cycling city in the nation by Bicycle Magazine and one of the top 10 Best Small Art Towns in America. Located just north of Sacramento at the base of the Sierra Nevada foothills, and just a few hours from San Francisco, Napa, Lake Tahoe, Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta, Chico residents are never far from their next adventure. Bidwell Park offers over 3,600 acres of space for outdoor activities and with multiple rivers and lakes just a quick drive away. Chico is home to Chico State University and great companies like Build.com, Sierra Nevada Brewery and Klean Kanteen.
