Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Phoenix Field carries the name of the small airfield that once operated on this flat ground near the Sunrise Boulevard corridor, long since given over to housing. The result is a more mixed pocket than the Fair Oaks average, with single-family homes alongside townhomes and apartments on relatively level, easy-to-walk streets. Its best feature is position: the American River Parkway runs close by, so the region's premier trail is a short trip, and the shopping and services along Sunrise are right there. The flip side is that same arterial, which brings traffic and noise to the edges, and the housing mix means curb appeal varies more than in the custom-lot pockets nearby. For access to both the river corridor and everyday shopping without a large-lot price, this is one of the more practical stretches of eastern Fair Oaks. The old runway is gone, but the flat, easy terrain it left behind is still underfoot.
