Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Some of the largest lots in central Sacramento sit in Arden Oaks, where half-acre and full-acre parcels carry everything from original 1950s ranch estates to Colonial and European-styled custom homes. Gated drives and deep entry courts are common, and the oak canopy is old enough to arch over whole streets. Del Paso Country Club, in operation since 1919, anchors the area's social geography just to the north, and the architectural range here is about as varied and polished as the region gets. It is privacy first: many homes sit well back from the road behind hedged frontages. The catch is that this pocket sits farther from the American River Parkway than the southern enclaves, so the marquee open space is a drive rather than a walk, and entry prices run well above the rest of Arden-Arcade. What it delivers instead is space, seclusion, and a streetscape of genuinely distinctive houses.
