Fabulous Forties News — The Fabulous Forties, or “Fab 40s,” is one of Sacramento’s most iconic and prestigious neighborhoods, located in East Sacramento. Bounded by C Street (McKinley Boulevard) to the north and Folsom Boulevard to the south, and stretching across 40th through 49th Streets, this historic enclave is renowned for its architectural beauty, tree-lined streets, and strong sense of community.
The neighborhood rose to prominence during the 1920s and 1930s, when grand Victorian and early 1900s homes reflected the aspirations of Sacramento’s growing upper class. These homes were considered the suburban mansions of their era and have housed California governors, senators, and notable figures throughout history. President Ronald Reagan lived at 1341 45th Street during most of his term as Governor of California. The area is also famous for its spectacular holiday light displays that draw thousands of visitors from across the region every year.
