Desirable scenic suburb north of the American River
In Marie-Gordon Heights, buyers will find generously sized homes and lots, a few miles north of the American River. “It’s a very desirable area, with good schools and good sports programs,” says Nicki Kalteis, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker. Local kids can attend top-rated schools like the public Rio Americano High and the all-boys, private Jesuit High School. The river offers recreation and waterfront green space, and the neighborhood's Valley Oak Park offers plenty of athletic fields, play areas and trails within walking distance for many. The neighborhood earns a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4, and is centered on two peaceful spots: the Arden Hills wellness resort, and the Hindu-focused Vedanta Society of Sacramento. Grocery stores and local restaurants can be found just north.
Large, well-maintained homes on spacious manicured lots
“There are good-sized lots here, as big as an acre,” Kalteis says. “And many of the homes, which are already really big, have been added to.” Most homes in Marie-Gordon Heights are well-maintained midcentury ranch-style homes with three or four bedrooms, shingled roofs and partial stone exteriors; some have Spanish-style details like barrel-tiled roofs. Spacious lots tend to be lushly landscaped with manicured shrubbery and mature maple and pine trees, and some also have entry gates and winding driveways.
When these three-to-four-bedroom homes have lots of less than a half-acre, their prices range from $600,000 to $1.1 million, while those with lots of a half-acre to an acre range from $1.3 million to $1.8 million. Homes on these larger lots that have five or six bedrooms in about 3,500 square feet range from $2 million to $3 million.
Marie-Gordon Heights is known for large estates and beautiful homes.

Local parks and picnics on the American River
The nine-acre Valley Oak Park, set on Marie-Gordon Height’s west side, is popular with pet owners for its two dog parks, one for small breeds and another for large dogs. There are also biking and jogging trails, two playgrounds and baseball diamonds, which host the Arden Little League team. A few miles south, the American River is a well-known destination for activities such as whitewater rafting and fishing for king and silver salmon. The William B. Pond Picnic Facilities sit on the waterfront for those who want to get together within view of the riverbanks.
