I love Citrus Heights!

Citrus Heights is a wonderful city! Come and see the city through the eyes of Mom, Business Owner and Volunteer, Jane Taff.

Come and explore this wonderful city with me! 

Hi! My name is Jane Taff and I am a mom, entrepreneur and volunteer in Citrus Heights. I have lived and worked here for the past 12 years. I am originally from San Francisco and I find that moving way out to the suburbs has been a pleasant surprise. In fact, when our family was moved to Houston for 4 years, I missed this area VERY much (Houston is NOT for a native Californian!)

Oh, how I love Citrus Heights, let me list the reasons why:

3. Shopping: We have a mall and several great shopping areas with a mix of larger stores and mom-and-pop shops.

4. Dining: As a self-described “foodie” I am continually amazed at the variety of flavors offered in my city.

5. A small town feel: We uniquely straddle the idea of “Small Town USA” and “city” very well. I have participated in the Red, White and Blue Parade, Fireworks Display, Sunday FunDay and the Veteran’s Picnic to name a few events.

6. Great for Families: Lots of parks, good schools and lots of ways to volunteer!

I hope that through my posts you will see Citrus Heights with fresh eyes and renew your interest in exploring and getting involved in this thriving community!
