Contemporary ranch-style homes with golf course views
Home and lot sizes here are larger than in most surrounding communities, and mature trees and shrubs offer shade and a sense of privacy. “The lots are large, the trees are tall; if a home is properly priced and in good condition, it's going to sell," says Andrew Skaggs, a longtime resident of El Macero and a real estate broker with Echelon and Skaggs Real Estate Group. Most of the ranch-style homes here were built in the 1970s or ‘80s and have a single story and three to five bedrooms; vinyl siding and cross-gabled roofs are common, and some homes have Spanish-style details like arched doorways and barrel-tile roofs, or Tudor Revival-style half-timbered exteriors. Backyards are largely filled by in-ground pools and patios, and a handful of homeowners have installed backyard pickleball courts. Five-to-six-bedroom homes with private pools range from $1.8 million to $2.2 million, but most home prices here depend on lot size. Homes on quarter- or half-acre lots range from $1.1 million to $1.6 million, while those on smaller lots range from $800,000 to $1 million.

Adjacent to the golf course are two recently resurfaced tennis courts and a heated 25-meter pool with six lanes for competitive swimming. “Running, walking, biking, and hiking are all popular here,” Skaggs says. “There are trails all over the neighborhood and wider area; people love to get outdoors. Many locals go duck hunting just a few minutes outside El Macero.” The Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, about 5 miles east, is popular with birdwatchers and allows seasonal waterfowl hunting.
