Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Upper Land Park occupies the stretch north and west of William Land Park, bridging the marquee Land Park blocks and the Curtis Park and Sutterville areas near the river. The housing is a mix of older and mid-century homes on comfortable, often shaded lots, and it carries much of the Land Park appeal: mature trees, quiet streets, and proximity to the park, the zoo, and the Tower District. The difference is the entry point. Prices here can run a notch below the core Land Park streets, which makes the neighborhood feel like the same world at a slightly gentler cost. Sacramento City College and the Freeport and Sutterville corridors are close, downtown is a short drive, and the river is nearby. It is car-oriented but green and settled, and the honest tradeoff is the usual friction that comes with older homes. For buyers who want the Land Park feel and canopy without paying for the best-known blocks, Upper Land Park is a smart place to look, close enough to the park and the zoo to share the appeal without the top-of-market number.
