What is an Extended Stay Rental?

The types of short-term corporate rentals offered by Key Housing go by many names, among them “extended stay.” While our listings vary, an “extended stay” generally refers to rentals from a few weeks to several months, and while our extended stay options are not in hotels but rather in houses, apartments, or condominiums, the comfort level can be more “at home” and personal than in an extended stay hotel. Browse our extended stay listings in San Jose, but feel free to reach out to a rental consultant to find the extended stay that meets your rental needs.

About Sacramento, California

If you considering short term housing in Sacramento, consider some of the interesting historical facts about this community:

Before John A. Sutter arrived in the Sacramento Valley, California, the Indians had been inhabiting the land for at least 10,000 years. Dominated by the Nisenan and Maidu tribes, dwelling in huts built of willow samplings, their idyllic existence would soon come to an end as trappers and traders came to the area.

John Sutter first arrived on August 13, 1839 at the divergence of the American and Sacramento Rivers with a Mexican land grant of 50,000 acres. The next year, he and his party established Sutter’s Fort, a massive adobe structure with walls eighteen feet high and three feet thicker first arrived on August 13, 1839 at the divergence of the American and Sacramento Rivers with a Mexican land grant of 50,000 acres. The next year, he and his party established Sutter’s Fort, a massive adobe structure with walls eighteen feet high and three feet thick.

Representing Mexico, Sutter called his colony New Helvetia, a Swiss inspired name, and was the political authority and dispenser of justice in the new settlement. Soon, the colony began to grow as more and more pioneers headed west. Unfortunately, these many trappers and traders spelled a death knell for the Native Americans as the new residents bore diseases and ailments for which the Indians had developed no immunity.

Within just a few short years, John Sutter had become a grand success, owning a ten-acre orchard and a herd of thirteen thousand cattle. Fort Sutter became a regular stop for the increasing number of immigrants coming through the valley. In 1847, Sutter hired James Marshall to build a sawmill so that he could continue to expand his empire. However, in January of the following year, Marshall discovered gold. Sutter pledged all his employees to secrecy, but within a few months, the word was out and the gold rush was on. Sacramento boomed and became a prime trading center for the many miners flooding the area.

John Sutter, Jr. arrived in 1848 to help his father in managing his holdings. Much to his father’s chagrin, John, Jr. soon partnered with Samuel Brannan in laying out the City of Sacramento rather than New Helvetia, two miles to the south. Eventually this led to the estrangement of father and son, and John, Jr. departed to Mexico. However, the town of Sacramento continued with its plans, becoming the first incorporated city in California in 1849.

To make matters worse, Sutter's workmen soon abandoned him to seek their own fortunes in the gold fields. His land became filled with squatters who destroyed his crops and butchered his herds.

Sutter, too, got caught in the gold fever, filing multiple claims that he would later lose to the United States after they took the land from Mexico. By 1852, Sutter's colony of New Helvetia had been destroyed and Sutter was bankrupt. He spent the rest of his life seeking compensation for his losses from the state and federal governments, and died disappointed on a trip to Washington, D.C. in 1880.

In 1850, Sacramento experienced its first devastating flood and just two years later, was virtually wiped out by the high waters.

Though an aspiring proposal was made to raise the city above flood water, nothing became of it. However, the city survived and became the California capitol in 1854. Finally, when another flood devastated the city in 1862, wagonloads of dirt were hauled in and the street level raised with thousands of cubic yards of dirt in an attempt to prevent another disaster.

As the gold rush began to decline, Sacramento became the center for the developing commercial agriculture industry.

When modernization came to the city in the 21st century, the commercial district gradually moved east and the area of Old Sacramento became a virtual slum. However, in the mid 1960s the city began to redevelop and refurbish the area.  The 28 acres encompassing the location today has more historic buildings condensed in one area than any other in the west. Moreover, it has become a National Landmark, with a portion designated as a California State Historic Park.

Today, Old Sacramento, with its wood plank sidewalks and picturesque three-story buildings, caters to more than 5 million annual visitors. The National Registered landmark provides a Public Market, two museums, excursion cruises along the water front, a hotel, and numerous restaurants and boutique like shops.
