Ranch-style homes built in the '90s
Little Chico Creek Estates is a neighborhood of leafy lawns and late-20th-century homes. “It’s a nice established neighborhood. Most of it was built in the 1990s, but there are some newer homes,” says Kiersten Morgan, Realtor with Crane Realty. The compact layout means lawn sizes are typically on the smaller side, but many homes come with mature trees, providing plenty of shade. “The houses are closer together, and there are sidewalks, so it's easy to walk around,” says Kelli Lewis, real estate agent with NextHome North Valley Realty. Ranch-style houses are typical in the area, often including Spanish motifs like red tile roofs and stucco walls. These homes cost between $410,000 and $580,000.
