Sacramento-area suburb near an interstate and local businesses

Set about 8 miles north of Downtown Sacramento, the suburb of Oak Knoll is bordered by Interstate 80 to the north and features a mix of residential streets and businesses. “Housing price points are what drive people to this area,” says Mark McDonough, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who’s been selling in the area for 11 years. “Especially if they’re looking for single-family, ranch-style homes between $350,000 and $500,000.” Green spaces and a community center here offer recreational and wellness activities, and shops and restaurants sit just beyond the neighborhood.

Ranch-style homes and bungalows

Oak Knoll has a mix of housing styles. Minimal traditional ranch-style homes and bungalows from the early 1960s to mid-’90s are set along narrow streets, with some new infill construction mixed in as well. Separated by chain-link or wooden, shadow box fences, these three-to-four-bedroom houses share common features like side- or cross-gabled roofs, shaded front porches and driveways leading to two-car garages; yards are large enough for mature shrubs and oak or palm trees. Depending on the square footage and year built, prices range from $350,000 to $500,000. Valley Vista, the neighborhood’s newest subdivision, features new traditional Craftsman-style homes with one-car garages and manicured lawns, starting at $465,000. Four- to eight-bedroom duplexes sold as potential rental properties range from $650,000 to $750,000.

Celebration of the arts at The Red Museum

Sacramento offers monthly events and activities. Every September, The Red Museum, an event venue about 5 miles from Oak Knoll, teams with the city’s Capital Dance Project to host Behind the Barre. This two-night festival features performances by over 30 local artists, professional ballet dancers, choreographers and musicians, as well as food trucks and a makers’ market of handcrafted goods. Michelle Katcher, a Capital Dance Project artist, says the event is meant to encourage discovery of different art forms. “We want people who usually come to the museum to see graffiti art to be exposed to dance, jazz and more, but in a familiar environment,” she says.
