Neighborhood in Chico, California
Butte County 95928
Chapman is an older community new to Chico. The city recently annexed the neighborhood, and Chico’s utilities now serve it. Chapman has already established itself as a part of the community through its landmark local business — Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Buyers are attracted to the area for its older homes, which are considered more affordable by Chico standards, and its neighborhood schools.
Chapman is positioned for easy access to Chico’s main thoroughfares. State Route 32, known as East Eighth Street in the neighborhood, and state Route 99, known as the Golden State Highway in the region, frame the east edges of the neighborhood. These roads make it easy to travel into town, whether for work, to shop, or to travel greater distances, like 85 miles south to Sacramento. “It’s easy to get around, but, of course, there’s some traffic,” says Kristin Wilson Ford, a real estate associate with Re/Max of Chico. “And there’s going to be some traffic noise.”
Chapman is primarily residential. Set back from the highways, neighborhood streets are smaller and quieter, shaded by dense trees. “It’s a more affordable area,” says Ford. “Most of the homes are older.” Chapman homes have a lower median pricing of $330,000, $100,000 less than the median price in Chico. Most homes are ranches, starting around $200,000 to $350,000.
Sierra Nevada Brewing Company makes its home in the Chapman neighborhood of Chico. “It’s quite the thing. The brewery is a super popular place in the area,” says Josh Burns, real estate agent with Becky Prater Real Estate. Fans of the brand enjoy touring the brewery, sampling IPAs in the Brewhouse Bar Taproom or dining at the brewery's restaurant. Aside from the landmark local brewery, there are few shopping and dining options in Chapman. Beatniks Coffee House and Breakfast Join and Gordo Burritos are located off Route 32 in the neighborhood. More options are found east of the neighborhood on the other side of Route 99, where shoppers will find Target, WinCo Foods and Chico Marketplace shopping mall. Restaurants around the mall include national brands like Taco Bell and Chili’s.
This small neighborhood has plenty of community green space. Chico’s Community Park spans the neighborhood's eastern edge, providing residents with game courts, multipurpose fields, playgrounds and picnicking areas. The city operates youth sports leagues out of the park and Kite Day, a popular spring event where locals gather to fly kites. Smaller Chapman Park is growing in popularity thanks to the new splash pad. During the summer months, visitors cool down under the water features.
Kids can start school at Chapman Elementary School, graded B-minus by Niche. From there, neighborhood kids can go on to Harry M. Marsh Junior High School, graded A-minus. Kids can finish school at Chico High School, which has previously earned distinction as a California Distinguished School and a National Blue Ribbon of Excellence School and earns an A from Niche. For students wanting to go to college close to home, California State University — Chico welcomes students from around the state.
