Canyon Oaks
Neighborhood in Chico, California
Butte County 95928
Spanish Revival homes in the private community
“Canyon Oaks is a very nice upscale gated community,” says Kelsey Watt, Sacramento Realtor Associate who has previously sold homes in the area. “You’ll find higher-end homes there.” Most Canyon Oaks homes are Spanish Revival, with features like stucco siding and red tile roofs. Prices begin at $630,000 but can go up to $2 million. Plenty of homes in the neighborhood sell for under a million, but buyers seeking 3,000 square feet or more will find options starting at the million-dollar mark. Hodge says that although homes can be pricey, they are not as expensive as other Northern California real estate. “You can get a gorgeous home you’d be paying 2 million for in the Bay Area,” Hodge says. “It’s incredibly accessible for the price point.”Namesake golf course and Bidwell Park
“It’s a gated community on an incredible golf course,” says Tierra Hodge, a local real estate agent with eXp Commercial. Canyon Oaks gets its name from the golf course in the community. Most buyers purchasing in the neighborhood are Canyon Oaks Country Club members or intend to pursue a membership to the private club. “It borders one of the largest municipal parks in the country,” says Hodge. “You’ll see beautiful wildlife: turkeys, wild foxes, deer. There’s a lot of beautiful nature.” The city park feels far removed from Chico, offering visitors winding hiking and biking trails and open green space. The park goes on for miles. Bidwell Park also maintains amenities like picnicking space, parking and restrooms to make visits for comfortable. “There’s a big, beautiful natural pool in the park,” says Hodge. “It’s popular in the summer.” Visitors enjoy swimming in the pool created by the Big Chico Creek and exploring the creek bed from the shore. Horseback riding is another way to explore the park, but some would rather get a bird’s eye view by paragliding.Kids attend Chico Unified School District
Kids can start school at Sierra View Elementary School, which earns an A on Niche. Neighborhood kids can go on to Harry M. Marsh Junior High School, graded an A-minus. Pleasant Valley High School, graded A by Niche, offers an International Baccalaureate Programme and is a California Distinguished School. For students who want to continue their education close to home, the city is home to a state university: California State University — Chico.Events in Chico
“There are two year-round farmers markets that people love --- one every Saturday downtown and one every Wednesday in North Chico,” says Hodge. Chico residents browse local produce and handmade goods sold by local artisans. The city has a vibrant art scene crafted by local artists who operate galleries and showcases around the city. The Art Wine and Walk is a city-sponsored month-long program held in the fall. Participants can enjoy a glass of wine while viewing art installations.Nearby highways for commuters
Hodge says the neighborhood’s commutable location is one of its appeals. “Within the neighborhood, it’s light traffic so that people can walk around,” she says. “But it’s close to town.” Residents will need a car to get around beyond the neighborhood. Vallombrosa Avenue to the neighborhood’s west connects Canyon Oaks with Chico shopping and dining. California State Route 32 runs near Canyon Oaks, intersecting with U.S. Route 99, a short drive outside the neighborhood. Via Route 99, also called the Golden State Highway, Sacramento is a 90-mile drive south. San Francisco is farther, and the 167-mile drive takes just over three hours on average.Vallombrosa Avenue restaurants and retail

Local favorites include Noodle House and Morning Thunder Café, as well as standard chains like Chipotle. The nearest grocery store, a Safeway, is a five-mile drive from Canyon Oaks.
