Neighborly vibes between San Francisco and Sacramento
Located 23 miles southwest of Sacramento, Dixon, California emerged as a stopping point on the Union Pacific Railroad. Today, Dixon residents find their community’s neighborly, small-town feel is worth its weight in gold. “It’s the type of place where neighbors you don’t even know will wave at you as they drive by,” said Jerry Bassler, a real estate agent with Realty Agents Inc. and a Dixon resident of 25 years. “Nowadays, I doubt you’ll see that in bigger cities.” Many military families settle in Dixon because it is close to the Travis Air Force Base 18 miles away. Miles of farms growing California fruits and veggies dot Dixon’s perimeter, yet there’s more to this suburban town. Locals benefit from good schools, spacious parks and proximity to two of California’s major cities.
Locals dine at historic restaurant circa 1908
Dixon residents have many grocery stores from which to choose, including Safeway, Walmart and Grocery Outlet. The Vacaville Premium Outlets, 11 miles away, offer upscale shopping options. Residents frequent locally owned stores to stay closer to home. Dixon Florist and Gift Shop has shelves stocked with bright green houseplants and unique gifts. Taqueria Panchita, a local favorite, has a selection of breakfast options, burritos and tacos. Dawson’s Bar and Grill has been a Dixon mainstay since 1908, serving various choices from southern-style breakfast to sandwiches for lunch to Italian dishes for dinner.
Grab a Dawson's Burger or sliders at Dawson's Bar and Grill in Downtown Dixon.
Panchita Taqueria is local favorite.
Gifts are available at The Dixon Florist, Dixon's oldest business.

Historic bungalows and newer tract housing in Dixon
Downtown Dixon has historic homes, including craftsman bungalows. Newer tract housing and custom houses are common throughout the city. Many of its streets have sidewalks suitable for an evening stroll and small, well-maintained lawns scaped with short grass or stones. “The values are good because inventory is pretty low, and whenever there is low inventory, homes seem to keep their value,” Bassler says. Properties fall around $700,000 to $850,000 for four and five bedrooms. Two-and-three-bedroom places go for $500,000 to $700,000.
Historic downtown Dixon is home to homes with charm and character like this craftsman bungalow.
Wide streets and custom homes make Dixon a friendly and comfortable place to live.
