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.

Tennis courts, golf course, and other club amenities
The El Macero Country Club is among the biggest draws for residents here. Its168-acre,18-hole private golf course is peppered with oak and sycamore trees, and has hosted players like Ronald Reagan and Tiger Woods. 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. Pioneer Park and Rogers Mini Playground are just to the north, featuring small and large playgrounds.
