La Riviera, CA

La Riviera is a census-designated place in Sacramento County, part of the Sacramento-Arden-Arcade-Roseville metro area. It is primarily residential and sits near the American River, which gives the community a clear recreational and geographic edge. La Riviera is served by both Sacramento City Unified and Folsom-Cordova school districts, reflecting its position between larger local jurisdictions. It feels like a Sacramento neighborhood-place: apartments, homes, river access, schools, and commuter roads rather than a separate downtown.
