Industrialized Stockton community with mom-and-pop businesses
Situated a few miles from downtown, East Stockton is a small industrial and residential community with a few parks and mom-and-pop shops. “The people here tend to stay,” says Kristina Heisler, Realtor at Peterson Adams Real Estate who works nearby. “They’ve been here a long time, and housing affordability is a factor.” Modest homes, mostly built in the early to mid-20th century, sit close together on flat, asphalt-paved streets; murals on buildings like the Fair Oaks Public Library can be seen while driving on the four-lane East Main Street. Residents visit the neighborhood’s many markets and shops and take fitness classes at Stribley Community Center. Annual events like National Night Out foster relationships between the community and law enforcement.
Easy access to major California highways in East Stockton
California State Route 99 runs along the eastern border, and U.S. Route 4 runs east-west in the community, linking it with downtown and other Stockton neighborhoods. The area’s residential streets are filled with sidewalks, and East Main Street has bike lanes. San Joaquin RTD buses make regular stops in and around the neighborhood. Robert J. Cabral Amtrak Station is a few miles north of the area. St. Joseph’s Medical Center is 3 miles northwest, and Stockton Metropolitan Airport is 7 miles south. The airport flies passengers to Las Vegas and Phoenix. Noise can be an issue since the airport is nearby, and to fly overseas, Sacramento International Airport is a 60-mile drive north.
Generational bungalows and ranch-style properties
Heisler says East Stockton is home to many generational homes, where residents pass their houses to their children and grandchildren. The wide, paved streets here are laid in a grid, with some speed bumps. Oak-tree-lined sidewalks pass wrought iron and chain link fences, and some streets have crosswalks. One to two-story duplexes mostly built between the 1940s and ‘60s dot the community, ranging in price from about $300,000 to $450,000. Remodeled early to mid-20th-century Craftsman bungalows are spread throughout the neighborhood, with stucco exteriors, tiny front porches and fenced-in yards with rose bushes. Prices roughly range between $200,000 and $350,000. Gathered near the community center, a mix of late 20th-century ranch-style homes and larger bungalows sit on larger lots with vinyl stone exteriors and short driveways leading up to two-car garages. Prices range from $350,000 to $450,000.

Cooling off at Sousa Pool and shooting hoops at Stribley
In the heart of the area, the nearly 4-acre Sousa Park features a tree-shaded playground, tons of open green space and the Sousa Pool, which is a go-to spot for neighbors in the summer. Stribley Park covers 19 acres of grassy terrain and includes the Stribley Community Center, where Heisler says local kids play indoor basketball and pickleball, and play catch at one of two baseball fields. The center also offers occasional art workshops, dance classes and access to a mini library. A community garden has rentable plots, where people grow vegetables, flowers and cacti. The Fair Oaks Public Library has daily story times for young children and offers prizes for students who complete a summer reading list.
