Home Inspector in Old Town Elk Grove, CA
Victorian-era charm — historic homes, antique shops, breweries & Elk Grove’s founding neighborhood
Old Town Elk Grove is the city’s historic heart, with beautifully preserved Victorian-era homes and buildings dating from the city’s founding as a stagecoach stop in the 1850s. The charming main street lined with antique shops, local restaurants, and breweries is anchored by some of the oldest residential stock in Sacramento County.
Safe Haven Inspections brings Victorian-era expertise to Old Town inspections.
