A close-knit urban Sacramento community with tree-lined streets and low turnover
Close to both Midtown and Downtown Sacramento, New Era Park has historic Craftsman and Victorian homes within walking distance of the American River, Sutter’s Landing Regional Park and J Street's shopping and dining. “If you want to have some action, you can walk a couple of blocks,” says Paloma Begin, a Sacramento local and Realtor with Compass. “But you do have a certain sense of peace and quiet, and the neighbors are great.” Residents here often hold onto their properties for decades, and the local neighborhood association is very active, making the community as steadfast and close-knit as the mature pine and oak trees that line the streets. New Era Park has long maintained its vintage charm, though some older properties have been replaced with 21st-century townhomes. Interstate 80 runs east, train tracks run north, near a handful of industrial businesses.
Victorian-era homes, often within historic districts
Homes in New Era Park rarely go up for sale. Most of the inventory is made up of Craftsman bungalows and Queen Anne-style homes from the early 1900s, some of which have been passed down through generations of families. Many homes have small garages and accessory dwelling units along backyard alleys, though street parking is just as common. Since 2020, some poorly maintained properties have been cleared and replaced with Colonial Revival-style townhouses that feature flat roofs and one-car garages; though these new builds are rare, their presence has contributed to increased home values across the neighborhood. Small apartment complexes and duplexes can be found around the neighborhood’s edges. Single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses are typically priced between $500,000 and $750,000. Some properties lie within historic districts, including the sought-after Boulevard Park District, centered on 21st and 22nd Streets. Homeowners in these districts are restricted in terms of what renovations they can complete, especially on the home’s exterior. Regardless of historic status, homeowners in New Era Park are advised to complete a thorough inspection, including looking at sewer pipes. “There’s a lot of big trees in the area and tree roots can get into the sewer lines, so we always recommend sewer inspections,” says Rico Rivera, a Sacramento local and Realtor with Silicon East Real Estate.

Riverfront bike trails through Sutter’s Landing Regional Park
Sutter’s Landing Regional Park is set between New Era Park and the American River, a welcome respite during Sacramento's intense summer heat waves. “Many people hang out at the beach there to swim and relax along the river,” says Chad Talach, a New Era Park resident and Realtor with Guide Real Estate. “Others will put in kayaks and stand-up paddle boards.” Formerly a municipal dump, the space was converted to a regional park with riverfront access in the 1980s. Today, the park has basketball and bocce courts, a dog park, and an indoor skate park. Paved bike trails run through Sutter’s Landing along the levees. Smaller neighborhood green spaces include Leland Stanford Park, which has sports fields, and Ulysses S. Grant Park, which has a playground. The New Era Community Garden has flourished in recent years, with 44 rentable plots.
