   R Street Corridor Starting 3rd Street     

R Street was part of Sacramento's original 1848 street grid and quickly became the site of California's first rail line. The historic warehouses and light industry buildings are now a fascinating residential and business district.

From a walking standpoint, R Street is a great street to walk in the winter when sun feels nice. R Street (and nearby) is the home of many great street murals.
