State Route 32 runs through Eastwood

State Route 32 splits outside the neighborhood and becomes East Eighth and East Ninth Streets. Living off one of the city’s main thoroughfares makes it easy to get around town or pick up food from one of the restaurants lining Eighth and Ninth Streets. However, there can be some drawbacks to living off a busy street. “There is definitely some traffic noise,” says Kristin Wilson Ford, a real estate associate with Re/Max of Chico. “There can also be some traffic in the area.”

An eclectic mix of older houses

The neighborhood is a dense, eclectic mix of popular styles from the previous century. “It’s a lot of older houses, but they are in good shape. People are free to renovate them,” says Ford. “Homes are a little more affordable, as they’re significantly cheaper than the rest of the city.” Eastwood homes sell for a median of $295,000, almost half the median $450,000 price of Chico. Bungalows sell between $145,000 and $295,000. Craftsman homes sell from $240,000 to $300,000. Ranches run from $440,000 to $470,000. Many of these homes were built around a century ago but aren’t protected historic properties. Buyers can upgrade their property with modern features.
