Your Woodland Property, Your Investment, Our Management Expertise.
As the county seat of Yolo County, Woodland has become a very popular place for property investors. It offers a great location that is enriched by its beautiful geography and easy connectivity to the rest of the region. Woodland sits just twenty miles northwest of Sacramento, too, making it a very affordable destination. As a Woodland property manager, many of our clients choose here because of the great value for money.
The cost of living in Woodland is very fair, but this is a location that has many historical buildings. While these buildings offer great value for their aesthetic beauty, rental maintenance becomes key. Since we offer in-house maintenance support, though, we can ensure your properties get the priority repairs they need. This keeps your buildings occupied by happy tenants, producing those desirable low vacancy rates.
A large manufacturing and distribution industry also enriches this location. We can manage any commercial properties you have in these industries alongside any residential properties you invest in.
Despite being the county seat, Woodland boasts some very affordable property prices. With a median home value of around $712,000, properties here are very cost-effective. Add in the long-term appreciation seen here, too—over 140% in the last decade alone—and investments in Woodland can be very wise. As your property management company of choice, one of our priority tasks is raising property value.
We do this in several ways, not least by making sure the foundations are cared for. This includes finding quality renters, managing all investment property maintenance needs on-demand, and recommending improvements to amenities and features. This all sets up your property to continue to grow in line with the local appreciation values. We also net you the best rental return we can by managing your property carefully.
Rental rates in Woodland can exceed $2,550 per month. We look to make sure that you get around this average or, if possible, more. Thus, your property is primed to either bring in maximum rental income or, if you decide, be sold for a profit on what you originally paid. This is what our astute management provides.

Frequently Asked Questions
Approximately 15 miles to the northwest of Sacramento, in Yolo County, California, is the county seat and city of Woodland, which is also a component of the Sacramento metropolitan region. In the Californian Central Valley, Woodland is a flat area bordered to the east by the Yolo Bypass and the Sacramento River and to the west by the Capay Valley and the Coast Range. Even though Woodland is a part of the Sacramento Metropolitan Area, it nevertheless has a "small town" vibe, in part because of the distance between it and its nearby communities. It's situated just southeast of the county's geographic center and is the biggest city north of Sacramento along Interstate 5 until Redding.

January is the wettest month during the rainy season, which runs from October to April. Average temperatures range from 58 °F in July to 38 °F in December and January, with highs ranging from 96 °F in July to 54 °F in January. Although the "Delta Breeze" brings nights down to the upper 50s, summers are still hot, frequently reaching the upper 90s. Temperatures during heat waves might rise above 100 degrees.

A whopping 30,000 people attend the city's Christmas parade, which is a huge holiday event.

In recent years, Woodland has encouraged the growth of an industrial sector that includes manufacturing and warehouses, particularly building modular homes. The city serves as a center for warehousing for important retail chains. Due to its proximity to Sacramento, small-town charm, and easy connectivity via highways and trains, the neighborhood saw a significant increase in property values in the early 2000s. Businesses are drawn to Woodland due to its proximity to Sacramento and San Francisco metro cities. The Target Distribution Center, Yolo County, Pacific Coast Producers, Walgreens, and the City of Woodland are among the major employers listed in the 2020 Financial Report.
