Note on living arrangements (No required night coverage/night call):

While we love living and working in our beautiful mountain town, we also recognize that small town life is not for everyone.

Auburn, CA, (pop: 14,000) is 35 minutes away, and Rocklin (pop: 76,000) and Roseville (pop: 160,000) are about 45 minutes from Grass Valley. Either way, you can avoid traffic by living in Grass Valley, or by living near Roseville and driving the opposite direction of most traffic!

Community Description
The natural beauty of Nevada County, combined with the area's rich history and economic vitality, provides an appealing quality of life that is highly valued by residents and visitors alike. Grass Valley, the largest city in western Nevada County, has a population of nearly 13,000 people. Although Grass Valley, Nevada City, and the other towns of Nevada County offer a small-town feel, the conveniences and offerings of major metropolitan areas (Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco & Reno) are only a short drive away, making this location very attractive. Our charming historic towns attract tourists year-round and offer fine dining and wine tasting, museums and art galleries, antiques, shopping, parks, and a range of cultural attractions. A year-round climate of moderate weather with warm summers and short winters offers outstanding recreational opportunities, including fishing, whitewater rafting, hiking, biking, boating, hunting, skiing, golfing, gold panning, and camping.
