Fair Oaks boasts a small-town charm built on its agricultural roots but still keeps up with modern times by offering many amenities, such as fantastic shopping spots, at Fair Oaks Village Mall. The weekly farmer’s market is a treasure. Some of the top-rated public schools in the San Juan School District are in Fair Oaks. Walk or ride your bike to the local hip restaurants and bars or hop on the nearby American River Bike Trail. Lake Natomas, the Aquatic Center and Folsom Lake are all within close proximity. You may see a stray chicken roaming the quiet streets, but that is part of the Fair Oaks charm.
