Welcome to Chico

Chico isn't just a place. . . It's a LIFESTYLE!
A place where innovation and creativity have merged. A gem tucked just far enough away from the chaos of big city living, yet close enough to see the Golden Gate before brunch if you want to.

Yeah, we've got plenty to be proud of here, including the world renowned Sierra Nevada Brewery (birthplace of Pale Ale), California State University, Chico (Go Wildcats!) and Bidwell Park (Can you say "Spectacular?") to name a few.

But if there's something you really need to know about Chico, it's this: It's one of the friendliest places you'll ever find, with a sense of community fun that's downright contagious.

Sure, we might be a little off the beaten path... but we like it that way...And we know you will, too.
