• Capital for government and more business services are where highways 680, 12 and 80 converge in Fairfield. Modern 6 story county capital building on Texas Street in downtown Fairfield.

Better living and labor costs than the inner bay area. Read to move in 3 bedroom houses with one bath and garage on 6000 sq foot lot might start at only $150,000. Alternatively villas sell for $10M or more in central Solano.

Over 2,000,000 population within 45 min drive.
Travel times from Fairfield might be as follows: Contra Costa 22 min via highway 680. 7 min to Vacaville. 23 min to Davis California. Under 45 min to downtown Sacramento. 35 min to Novato via highways 80 and 37. 

All numbers are approximate. Driving time are our opinion and during normal conditions. The truth is travel from Solano into San Francisco during rush hour is very congested. Reverse commuters drive into Solano with a breeze. Rush hour traffic between Solano and Sacramento has minimal slow downs.
