  • When our family moved to Elk Grove a couple of years ago, it was difficult coming to a new place without friends or family. When we received our BeLocal Magazine, it was like we made a new friend who knew all of the best places. We found many hidden gems like coffee shops, walking trails, playgrounds, and restaurants that allowed us to explore and spend quality time together as a family. It was exactly what we needed to make our new city feel like home. We can't wait to continue exploring other local secrets that BeLocal has highlighted!

  • BeLocal has been such a vital part of my business as a REALTOR®! What I appreciate most about this magazine is its commitment to highlighting local businesses, events, and personalities. I provide each of my clients with the magazine or the QR code link, and I’ve received outstanding feedback. They have found this fabulous resource to be exceptionally useful for learning about the people and places that make our city so unique.
