Properties are typically larger in this neighborhood, and residents aren’t overwhelmed by a busy social scene or retail district. Residents must travel to neighboring towns for shopping and dining, leaving their community purely residential.

Visiting Lake Oroville and Durham parks
While there is no official park within the neighborhood, there are open spaces prime for hiking, like Shirttail Canyon and along the banks of Clear Creek. Butte Valley is a short 22-mile drive from Lake Oroville, which is an attractive benefit for buyers. Visitors explore more than 100 miles of shoreline, enjoying leisure activities like picnicking and soaking up the sun, as well as more active options like hiking and horseback riding. The lake has multiple boat launching sites and can accommodate water-based activities like sailing, swimming and water skiing. For a more traditional park, residents might head to Durham to visit the 24-acre Durham Community Park, which offers a playground, game courts and picnicking space.

A mix of housing on lots of land
“There was no spec building, so everything was custom,” says Brian Voigt, a Re/Max Home and Investment real estate broker. “There are many ranch-styles, but you’ll see anything.” Buyers will typically spend from $500,000 to over $1 million, which can purchase a Modern Traditional or ranch-style home. Manufactured homes are common, starting at $60,000 and going up to $100,000. A few manufactured homes can exceed $100,000 based on upgraded amenities, square footage and location. The true appeal of the real estate here is the land. “These are huge lots,” says Dave Donnan, a Realtor at the Ryno Company with more than 25 years of experience. “The land parcels are very large. You can feel really remote but still be a 20-minute drive to Chico.”
