Neighborhood Area Awareness Month Celebrates Community
That’s a wrap on our second annual Neighborhood Area Awareness Month! Throughout January, we highlighted each Neighborhood Area and the many ways neighbors are coming together to build community, enhance safety, support local schools and give back through service and events.
Neighborhood Areas provide opportunities to meet neighbors, share ideas, address local concerns and work collaboratively to improve quality of life across the city.
It’s never a bad time to attend a monthly meeting, lend a hand at an event or simply learn more about what’s happening in your neighborhood.
Find your Neighborhood Area and learn how to get involved at CitrusHeights.net/NeighborhoodAreas.
| | | Your Love Local Valentine’s Guide | | |
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect opportunity to plan something meaningful right here in Citrus Heights while supporting the local businesses that make our community special.
Start with a bouquet from one of our Citrus Heights florists: Awesome Blossom, Flora Belle Florist, and Flower Power Florist & Gifts.
A slow morning can unfold over coffee and pastries at Sweet Music Studio Cafe, the newest spot in Citrus Heights to get your caffeine fix. As the day turns to evening, the mood might shift toward something a little more lively, like a bit of friendly competition at Steve Cook’s Fireside Lanes or a few laps at Sunrise Rollerland for a date night that is lighthearted and fun.
Those looking for a slower pace can grab a drink at DarkHeart Brewing for relaxed conversation or unwind together at Rafa Sauna Lounge for a little well-earned self-care. However the night unfolds, it feels right to end on a sweet note at Kobing Dessert Studio.
Adding a few local stops makes the day feel more personal and memorable, and we hope this guide inspires a Valentine’s Day filled with sweet moments and local memories!

Mayor's Message
When people think of service, they often picture volunteering, coaching youth sports, or helping a neighbor. In Citrus Heights, we are fortunate to have a strong culture of service, and it is the heart of my mayoral focus this year: Citrus Heights Serves. This month, I want to highlight another powerful form of service that sometimes goes unrecognized: supporting our local businesses.
