The development story of Carmichael began in 1910 when Dan Carmichael offered 10-acre lots for $1,500.
Today it is a fully developed community of about 50,000 approximately 10 miles northeast of downtown Sacramento. It is located along the north side of the historic American River and Interstate 50 and is also short commute to the Mather and Folsom areas.
Close to American River College, Carmichael residents enjoy Ancil Hoffman Park along the American River, which includes a golf course, picnic areas and the Effie Yeaw Nature Center, which provides nature programs. Other Carmichael highlights include the Jensen Botanical Gardens, with rare hybrids of camellias, dogwoods, azaleas and rhododendrons, and the Chautauqua Playhouse, offering a full season of theatrical works.
A complete range of homes is available, from apartments and townhouses to beautiful residences overlooking the American River and its parkway.
Vestiges of the early development are still to be seen, including the palms on Palm Drive, which were planted around 1913.
Commute time to downtown Sacramento
Typical commute time for a Carmichael resident is about 23 minutes.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com
Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)
Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "Report Abuse" link to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
• Don't flag other users' comments just because you don't agree with their point of view. Please only flag comments that violate these guidelines.
You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "Report Abuse" link to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.
If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them.
