This upbeat suburb is a short walk from the action

Only a half-mile south of downtown Roseville, Cherry Glen has the tightly packed feel of a city neighborhood. Homes are close together on gridded streets, and next to narrow sidewalks, parked cars can line both sides of an avenue. Major thoroughfares, Riverside Avenue and Douglass Boulevard, are just west and north, even if the neighborhood itself doesn’t get much through traffic. Pedestrians and bikers can see mature trees above them, giant maples that started growing in the 1900s, and local parks follow a creek along the east side. When they’re ready for more of an upbeat pace, Roseville’s shops and restaurants are a short walk away, and Sacramento is 19 miles south.

Downtown Roseville: restaurants, shops, entertainment and events

For a night out, residents can head north to downtown Roseville, a walk that can take about 15 minutes. Downtown has pubs such as Goose Port Public House and The Monk’s Cellar, plus a dozen other restaurants. Stores sell anything from guitars to model trains, and options include Threads Clothing Exchange and Mike’s Bikes. Art galleries, museums and performing arts theaters are also here. Vernon Street, the main thoroughfare, hosts a lot of events throughout the year, too. Local bands perform at Downtown Tuesday Nights in the summertime, and vendors sell handcrafted goods. Trucks park around Vernon Towne Square for Food Truck Mania, which happens every third Thursday year-round. About 2 miles north of downtown, the Placer County Fair brings a Ferris wheel and games every June.

Local recs on Riverside Avenue, Douglass Boulevard

Residents can walk to downtown Roseville’s shops and restaurants, but places on Riverside Avenue are even closer. Along the neighborhood’s west side, Roseville Family Restaurant serves diner-style breakfast. Carmelita’s is nearby for Mexican food, and their enchiladas and pork plates are recommended by locals. Just north of the neighborhood on Douglass Boulevard, Shady Grove Coffee & Tea has been a local favorite since 2010. “I like our cappuccinos,” says Austin, the front of house manager. “Our scones usually sell out by mid-morning because we bake them fresh every day. We also get our beans from a Sacramento company called Mast, founded by two former employees.” The coffee shop hosts trivia on the first Tuesday of the month and open mics every Friday. “We have a good amount of regulars, so you see a lot of the same people that come out and perform,” says Austin. Farther east on Douglass, foodies can find everything from Mexican restaurants to sushi spots, and they’re close to a Trader Joe’s and Grocery Outlet.

Coming home to something different

“There are no cookie-cutter properties here,” says David Messer, a founding partner with Compass and a Sacramento real estate agent for over 10 years. “Most are older, historic bungalows from the early 1900s, and they’re full of character. Some have the original doors and hardwood. Some have basements or partial basements, and some have good-sized lots.” These features — and earth-toned exteriors — change with every house so buyers can get something unique. Even so, these smaller homes are often close to neighbors, and backyards are fenced-in. Front yards are usually bisected by a concrete path leading up to steps and a small porch; landscaping is typically simple, with a few mulch beds. Three-bedroom homes are the most common option, typically between $460,000 and $585,000. The occasional two- or four-bedroom might fall on either side of this range, but they’re rare. Whatever the bedroom count, inventory is usually low since there are about 250 homes in the neighborhood. Most properties sell in 18 days, quicker than the national average of 43 days.

Short drives to Roseville City Elementary Schools, Oakmont High

Most students attend George Cirby Elementary, just east of Cherry Glen and rated a B-minus by Niche. About two miles east of the neighborhood, Warren T. Eich Middle is an International Baccalaureate School where students take foreign language and visual performing arts as part of their curriculum. It gets an A from Niche and ranks as their No. 7 best public middle school in Placer County, ahead of 29 others. Oakmont High is about 2 miles south of this school, and its IB program offers 18 courses, including Theory of Knowledge and World Religions. It gets an A-minus and is one of the most diverse schools in the county. St. Rose School provides a private option for kindergarten through eighth grade, and it’s in the southern part of the neighborhood.

Trail along Dry Creek leads to downtown Roseville

Starting in the southern part of the neighborhood, the Saugstad and Royer Park Trail runs for more than a mile along Dry Creek. This tree-lined, paved path leads north to Saugstad’s baseball fields and, a quarter mile farther, to Royer’s playgrounds and Children’s Art Center. Its amphitheater also hosts a summer concert series from June through September. The trail continues into downtown Roseville and becomes the Miner’s Ravine Trail, and it runs about 5 miles to Sierra College. If bikers want a bumpier ride, Oak Creek BMX holds frequent races and caters to all ages.

Commuting to Sacramento: Interstate 80 and AmTrak

Since downtown Roseville is about a half-mile north, most people can walk or bike to its shops and restaurants. They likely work in Sacramento, though, and cars are the quickest option to get there. It’s a 19-mile trip via Douglass Boulevard and Interstate 80, and traffic is usually fast-moving, even during rush hour. This route takes about 25 minutes. The AmTrak train can take close to an hour, and it has a station in downtown Roseville. The tracks pass close by Cherry Glen and can create noise audible in the residential areas, and some freight trains run at night.
