A Rancho Cordova community near outdoor recreation and major thoroughfares
American River access and the trails of the American River Parkway are close to the tree-lined streets of Mills Ranch, a neighborhood in Rancho Cordova. The community is also within a 2-mile radius of big-box stores, Latin American markets and local restaurants. “Homes tend to sell quickly after they are listed in this area,” says Ana Alvarez, a local real estate agent with LPT Realty, Inc. “People are drawn to Rancho Cordova by the hiking and biking trails and easy access to Route 50. It’s a quick commute to both Downtown Sacramento and Folsom.”
Charming bungalows and ranch-style homes in Mills Ranch
Palm and oak trees dot front yards, while the houses along Ambassador Drive overlook hundreds of acres of open fields and greenery. Ranch-style homes and bungalows make up the architectural scene in Mills Ranch, with most sitting close together on quarter-acre lots. Walkability is one of the area’s drawing factors, with well-maintained sidewalks lining the lanes and leading to local public schools and markets in less than a mile. Most houses have paved driveways, fenced-in back yards and attached two-car garages. “You’ll find more affordable prices in Mills Ranch compared to communities closer to Folsom,” says Alvarez. “A lot of locals are drawn to the atmosphere and recreation areas of Folsom, but the prices are much higher. In Mills Ranch, you’re less than 20 minutes from the town with more accessible home prices.” In-ground swimming pools are also common. Single family homes range from $375,000 to around $640,000, while condos and townhouses can go for $195,000 to $350,000.

The American River Parkway is a trail and greenway system that spans 32 miles alongside its namesake river.

The Lower Sunrise Recreation Area is nearby and is a popular spot for bikers to hop on the paved trail, with a pedestrian bridge that can take visitors across the river to a sandbar.
