Suburban neighborhood set in an agricultural region with modest home prices
August sits 3 miles northeast of downtown Stockton in Northern California’s Central Valley. As one of the state’s largest agricultural areas, farming is one of the main industries here, along with manufacturing jobs; some residents work for the Tesla Megapack Factory or its distribution center near Lathrop 16 miles south. Second-generational families and longtime residents comprise the neighborhood’s population, who enjoy proximity to strip malls, schools and greenspaces, and established homes offer modest pricing, drawing first-time home buyers. “There’s a very strong sense of community here,” says Janet Ramirez, Realtor with BHGRE Integrity Real Estate, who grew up in the area. “You see a lot of neighbors helping one another out.” A local community center serves as an anchor for youth and adult programs, and neighbors gather for year-round events downtown.
Travel by wheels, rails or bus
Cherokee and Waterloo Roads are August’s two main thoroughfares, full of shops and restaurants. Harding Way leads 3 miles southwest to downtown Stockton, and residents can drive about 5 miles southwest to hop on Interstate 5, which leads roughly 50 miles north to Sacramento. State Route 99 (Golden State Highway) to the east serves as an alternative way to Sacramento. While farmers stay near home, others drive about 16 miles south toward Lathrop for work; rush hour commute times average 20 minutes. San Joaquin Rapid Transit buses travel throughout Stockton, and Amtrak can carry passengers to Sacramento or 126 miles to Fresno from the Robert J. Cabral station 2 miles south. From Gianone Park, the St. Joseph’s Medical Center sits 2 miles west, while the Stockton Metropolitan Airport is found about 6 miles south.

Ranch-style homes and bungalows
Residential streets are laid out on a grid, lined with modest single-family homes built between the 1920s and ‘60s. “There’s a lot of first-time buyers in August because the prices are so good. Many people buy here first and save to purchase larger homes with more land,” says Ramirez. Ranch-style homes and bungalows with up to three bedrooms here range from $200,000 to $350,000. These feature stucco or vinyl exteriors, driveways leading to two-car garages or carports, and front yards enclosed by metal or iron fences. Some homeowners park their cars sideways on gravel pathways between their front yard and the street. A few mid-century modern Craftsman-style homes with up to four bedrooms and well-manicured yards sell between $450,000 and $600,000.

Mad cow burger, Cap’n Crunch shakes and spaghetti dinners
Along Waterloo Road, diners hit up locally owned Flip’s Burgers, a hole-in-the-wall burger and hotdog joint. Its slogan “Happy cows come from California, mad cows only come from Flip’s,” refers to one of its signature dishes: a beef patty with chipotle sauce, jalapenos, grilled onions and a fried egg. Be sure to try their Cap’n Crunch or coconut pineapple-flavored shakes. A few miles south on Fremont Street, family-owned Angelina’s Spaghetti House, a Stockton staple since 1976, serves spaghetti with hot and spicy sauce inside a rustic chic setting. Shoppers can head to Food 4 Less, a discounted grocery warehouse, 2 miles southwest in the Eastland Plaza strip mall.
