The thriving, vibrant City of Vacaville is located in northern Solano County, midway between Sacramento and San Francisco. The city limits encompass approximately 27 square miles of scenic landscape bordered by rolling hillsides. Nearly 100,000 residents call Vacaville home. Since the 1960's, Vacaville has transformed from a small agricultural community into a dynamic city, but remains a "small town at heart", with residents priding themselves on a friendly atmosphere and high level of community involvement. Major employers include Genentech, whose Vacaville campus provides 1,500 jobs in the growing biotech industry since their expansion project was completed in 2009.
Vacaville provides an ideal setting in which to live, work, and play. As one of California's most attractive communities, Vacaville offers affordable housing, high quality schools, a wide variety of programs for youth, and numerous community events. Vacaville is a safe community, enjoying the third lowest crime level in California when compared to cities of similar size. The ideal geographic location provides numerous "day trip" opportunities to visit beaches, redwoods, wine country, San Francisco, or Lake Tahoe. Arts and entertainment options and outdoor pursuits abound in the immediate area as well. Residents and visitors enjoy strolling, dining, or just relaxing in the revitalized historic downtown, with its scenic Creekwalk and recently completed Town Square. A thriving retail district along Interstate 80 offers excellent shopping options, including one of the largest factory outlet complexes in the state. A recent survey found that 95% of residents rate Vacaville as a "good" or "excellent" place in which to live.
