Planned community of Antelope 15 miles from Sacramento
Antelope, California, answers the question: What if a suburban community could start over again from scratch and reprioritize itself? Located about 15 miles northeast of downtown Sacramento, it now combines suburban comfort with access to outdoor activities. “It’s family living at its best,” says Shaun Alston, executive broker for Eagle Realty, who’s been selling in the area for over 30 years. “You come here because you want a yard, a place to park your RV and to enjoy newer, more affordable homes.” The area was little more than a railyard, general store and a smattering of homes when in 1973, a train carrying thousands of bombs and ammunition slated for Vietnam exploded at the nearby Southern Pacific Roseville Yard. Over the next 18 hours, 32 boxcars exploded, all but levelling the surrounding community. No one was killed in the incident, but it did allow for the reimagination of the area. During the ‘80s, officials rebuilt Antelope, carefully planning housing developments and businesses. Today, nearly 49,000 people call the area home and enjoy being far enough away from bustling city centers yet within reach of Sacramento’s economic and cultural offerings.

Career Technical Education classes at Center Joint Unified schools
Two school districts. Dry Creek Joint Elementary and Center Joint Unified, serve the community. Both earn a B-plus from Niche. Dry Creek offers hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) programs and a Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program. Center schools state they are committed to providing a positive and welcoming environment for all students and empowering them to reach their full potential. “We want our students and staff to feel like they belong, that they can make an impact, they’re valued and that they can thrive here,” says Kelli Twomey, communications coordinator for the district. Most of the schools offer multi-tier classes in several disciplines. “By exposing students to different pathways, such as media and design, through our Career Technical Education program, we open the door to opportunities for the future.”
Higher education options are nearby. Sierra College in neighboring Rocklin offers over 120 degrees, while American River College, south of Interstate 80, enrolls 30,000 students.

Shopping in Antelope is centered around small retail hubs scattered throughout. “Everything you need is readily accessible here,” says Alston. “You don’t have to travel outside of town for essentials, but locals like being close to the Galleria and Fountains malls in Roseville.” Chain businesses and basic service providers are found at the Antelope Market and Elverta Crossing Shopping Center, and big-box stores like Walmart sit south of Elverta Road. Grocery options include Bel Air, WinCo Foods and a European Deli House.
Diners here can choose from American, Mexican, Asian and Middle Eastern dishes, served at casual eateries and family restaurants; fast-food joints are peppered throughout Antelope.

Just 13 miles from Sacramento, Kirkland Place is a hot market for those looking to get into real estate in a growing location. “The prices are great for first-time buyers, and people are getting in at the right time,” says Candice Tyrrell of Gonsalves Real Estate Properties, who sold a pair of homes in Kirkland Place in 2024. “Antelope, in general, is really growing so quickly, and it seems like renovations to buildings are happening all the time.” Location is key with Kirkland Place. Located near Interstate 80, locals can easily commute to Sacramento for work. The neighborhood is also near hip shopping and dining areas in Roseville and Rocklin. The area is popular with a younger crowd, as the median resident is 35 years old.
Whether it’s a backyard barbecue or an early morning walk with the dog, the residential streets in Kirkland Place are active. “There are always kids playing outside or people walking around no matter what time of day it is,” says Tyrrell. “It just feels different and extremely welcoming.” Homes in the area range from single-story homes built in the 1970s and 80s to sleek, modern Craftsman homes. Prices typically range between $350,000 and just over $500,000. Homes are clustered on close-together lots but have room for backyards. Houses have attached multi-car garages, and the wide sidewalks are shaded by mature oaks.
Kirkland's children attend the Twin Rivers Unified School District. Those living east of Don Julio Boulevard begin at Hillsdale Elementary, which has a B-minus Niche grade and a 17-to-1 student-teacher ratio.
