The City of Vacaville is located between the Sacramento Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area on Interstate 80. As a result of our unique location, our community has become a melting pot of cultures, music, food and art.

It’s what you would expect from a progressive, forward-thinking city filled with biotech workers, health care workers and more.

At the same time, our commitment to the biotech and advanced manufacturing industries means we’ve got a solid base of businesses with well-paying jobs to go along with our robust retail and tourism opportunities.

Beyond the borders of Vacaville lie the Napa Valley, Sonoma and Central Valley wine regions, and countless outdoor activities, all just a short drive away. Over 100 colleges and universities are within 50 miles of our city.

Warm summers and mild winters just add to the lure of a region that has grown to over 100,000 residents but still maintains a small-town feel and charm. Other attributes of our community include: 

• Multiple recreational opportunities within city limits – hiking, biking, rock climbing - as well as skiing, camping, and more less than a day’s drive away.
• Ranking as one of the safest cities in California, with public safety employees trusted and respected by residents.
• Responsive, involved elected officials and city staff committed to making Vacaville the best city it can be.
• An expanded Economic Development Department; an expedited permit processing; and a new biotech and advanced manufacturing initiative aimed at making Vacaville and the region the largest biotech hub in the world.
• Over 1,400 acres of land ready for development. The Interchange Business Park, located in northern Vacaville, is positioned to be the number 1 business park not only in Solano County, but Northern California.
• Three completely independent sources of water (Lake Berryessa, State Water Project, and ground water) that provide a reliable supply even during long-term drought conditions.
• Access to nearby international airports in Sacramento (40 miles), Oakland (60 minutes) and San Francisco (90 minutes) make it easy to reach any destination in the world in less than 24 hours.
• Affordability. Vacaville has some of the lowest home prices in the region. Employees can live where they work.
