Featuring
tree-lined streets where every home is as different and unique as the
people who occupy them, East Sacramento remains one of the most desirable
neighborhoods in the Sacramento region. The community got its start in the
1920's and now boasts a mix of charming bungalows and huge mansions. The
close proximity to downtown Sacramento with its government, financial
resources, medical facilities, and law firms is only one of the many draws
to this community.
Residents of East Sacramento enjoy quiet streets and unique
architecture. McKinley Park is a neighborhood favorite boasting a
duck pond, trails, basketball, swimming and tennis. California State University Sacramento's
campus is also in East Sacramento.
The River Park area borders the American River and consists of single
family homes built in the 1940's and 1950's. River Park doesn't have the
large mansions like the Fabulous Forties (homes on 40th to 49th), but it
does have a charm all its own.
Intimate, family-owned shops and restaurants, ice cream parlors and
five additional parks add to the appeal of the neighborhood. With two
large hospitals in the vicinity, many medical professionals have moved the
area in recent years.
