North Sacramento suburb close to parks and the freeway

Set 5 miles north of downtown Sacramento, the small suburb of Strawberry Manor is full of midcentury homes that are popular with investors and first-time buyers. Local families can walk their kids to school at Fairbanks Elementary, in the neighborhood’s center, or visit local playgrounds, pocket parks and Steelhead Creek. A few apartment complexes and the Back to Bible Church are found east, restaurants and grocery stores line Northgate Boulevard, and Interstate 80 is about a mile north.

Midcentury homes, investment properties and rentals

Strawberry Manor was primarily developed in the 1950s and ‘60s, and its ranch-style homes and bungalows feature prominent two-car garages. Properties are set close together, their flat, uniform setbacks enclosed by wrought-iron or wooden fences and sometimes dotted with palm trees or a mature oak. Like many neighborhoods in North Sacramento, more than half of residents rent their properties, and many fixer-uppers are available for potential investors. “That whole area is its own housing market,” says Nicki Kalteis, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker. Prices range from $280,000 to $450,000, and largely depend on a home's condition and outstanding repairs.

Accessing Interstate 80 about a mile away

Interstate 80 is about a mile north and leads about 5 miles east to Interstate 5; these two freeways connect much of the greater Sacramento area. Downtown Sacramento is about 5 miles south. Sacramento Regional Transit buses stop around the neighborhood’s edges, with routes that travel throughout the city. Kaiser Permanente Sacramento Medical Center is the closest hospital, about 5 miles east. Sacramento McClellan Airport is about 6 miles away, while Sacramento International Airport is about 11 miles away. Train tracks border the neighborhood on the west, with active trains passing by and bringing some noise pollution during the day.

Fairbanks Elementary and other local schools

Fairbanks Elementary School is set in the neighborhood’s center and earns a C-minus from Niche; its events for local families include a Jog-A-Thon fundraiser, where students collect pledge donations based on how many laps they can run during the event. The C-rated Martin Luther King Jr. Technology Academy offers computer science and digital media electives, as well as a Spanish Dual Language Immersion program. Students at the B-rated Grant Union High School can enroll in Hmong language classes or join the after-school Hmong Club; indigenous to East and Southeast Asia, the Hmong community has a strong presence in North Sacramento.

Strawberry Manor Park and other nearby green spaces

Strawberry Manor Park is within walking distance for many residents, offering shaded playgrounds and a picnic pavilion. Gateway Park, just east, has walkways shaded by Tupelo trees, and locals might spot bunnies hopping across the open fields. Just north, the 9-mile Charles Robertson Park has a popular skate park, as well as basketball courts. Summer temperatures here regularly top 90 degrees, so many locals cool off in the seasonal public pool in Johnston Park, about a mile away.

I've lived here for over 15 years and for the most part, it is a quiet community. The neighbors are usually respectful and warm/welcoming. Navigating the neighborhood can be confusing at first but the streets are pretty easy to learn. The roads are wide, perfect for those who may have to park cars on the street or like to entertain guests and family. It is not far from a few grocery stores.
