Tight-knit suburb on the American River, bikeable to downtown

Just upstream from Sacramento, Wilhaggin del Dayo is more than a 3-mile stretch along the American River. “We’re a community of 2,100 homes, so we’re pretty spread out,” says Kathleen Newton, a local since 2012. “But you know your closest neighbors, so when you’re out in the yard, you’ll wave and say hello. It’s multigenerational, and people who buy here usually live here for a very long time.” These longtime residents look out for each other: they volunteer dues to the Wilhagen Dayo Neighborhood Association, whose off-duty patrols have led to one the lowest crime rates in the county. Slow-paced streets don’t get much through traffic, and oak trees can shade pedestrians from California sun. “Everybody’s constantly out walking since we’re right next to the American River Parkway, one of the jewels of Sacramento County,” says Newton. “That’s why a lot of people want to live here.”

1970s ranch-styles on the American River

Compared to 1950s homes in Arden Park and Marie-Gordon Heights, most houses in Wilhaggin del Dayo were built in the 1970s. These ranch-styles typically have wide lots close to neighbors, and most backyards have a pool. Three-bedrooms range from $690,000 to $1 million, while four-bedrooms can go up to $1.7 million. Higher-end properties tend to be farthest from the American River, and they usually have more square footage. Budget-friendly homes are closer to the river, and flood insurance is recommended for lower-elevation properties. “We don’t have many sales come up,” says Newton. “If you see something for sale, you better pounce on it because it’ll probably be gone in a week.”

Low crime with Wilhaggin Del Dayo Neighborhood Association

“We’re one of the biggest examples of the community here,” says Newton, Communications Director for the Wilhaggin Del Dayo Neighborhood Association. “We were founded in 2006 by neighbors who decided to get together because there was an uptick in burglaries. Now we have the most robust off-duty program in the county.” The Association contracts off-duty officers with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, and they run 10 patrols a week. In addition to these services, Association members receive a biweekly report in exchange for monthly dues. This voluntary membership costs $300 per month, and half of homeowners enroll. Accordingly, the CAP Index Crime Score is half of the national average and sits at a 2 out of 10 as of April 2024.

Fair Oaks Boulevard restaurants, Howe Bout Arden Mall

Bella Bru Café is a local chain that prides itself on California-grown ingredients, and it’s walkable from east-side homes. “Everybody goes there for morning coffee, and it’s always busy with so many people doing business and talking in there,” says Newton. “That’s the closest place that everybody knows.” Mas Taco Bar, toward the west, folds the world into a taco: stuffing includes Korean fried chicken, fried oysters and everything in between. While these local spots are walkable from some homes, shoppers will likely drive 5 miles northwest to Howe Bout Arden. This outdoor mall features 29 restaurants and 12 specialty stores such as Burlington, Nordstrom Rack and ULTA Beauty; it also has a Century Theatre and the Punch Line Comedy Club. Residents are also across the river from the Folsom Boulevard Flea Market, a weekend market that’s been around since 1965.

Route 50 to downtown Sacramento, Light Rail access

Heading west on Fair Oaks Boulevard, commuters can use the Watt Avenue bridge onto U.S. Route 50. This route leads 6 miles into downtown Sacramento, but it might take 20 minutes or longer during rush hour traffic. Sacramento Regional Transit also operates Bus Route 84 along Watt Avenue, and it connects to the Light Rail’s Gold Line. In this case, travel time is usually 45 minutes to an hour.

Walk, bike or paddle along the American River

Spanning across the neighborhood’s southern border, bikers can enjoy a stretch of the American River Parkway. “It's a beautiful trail with lots of trees and wildlife,” says Newton. “Some people even use it as a commuter corridor to go to work downtown.” This westbound trip is roughly 12 miles, or they might go 20 miles east to Folsom. Pedestrians can connect to parks along the northern riverbank, such as William B. Pond Recreation Area. Here, an expansive picnic area is suited for a waterside meal, and Arden Rapids caters to adventurous rafters. Across the Harold Richey Memorial Bridge, River Bend Park has 444 acres of hiking and equestrian trails. Ashton Park isn’t along the river, but it’s a short walk from most homes: this green space features basketball and tennis courts, plus a playground.
