North East Elk Grove blends suburban and rural living south of Sacramento
North East Elk Grove is a sprawling exurban community located just south of Sacramento. It has everything from cookie-cutter suburbs to large rural properties that run up against the edge of California wine country. Residents benefit from nearby shopping and dining, a highly rated school district and easy access to parks, wineries and vineyards. “The weather is great here, and people love being out and walking around. The way our boulevards were designed, they all have beautiful walkways and trees,” says Realtor Traci Petersen of Coldwell Banker Realty, a longtime Elk Grove resident. Once a small farming town, Elk Grove is one of the fastest growing and most diverse cities in California. Its population has ballooned over the last 30 years, expanding from 17,000 residents in 1990 to more than 170,000 in 2020. “During COVID, we had a lot of people moving here from the Bay Area because they didn’t have to go into the office. That slowed down in the last few years, but a lot of people have stuck around,” Petersen says.

Prospective homebuyers will find everything from suburban homes to rural farm properties
Most homes on the west side of the neighborhood were built in the last 30 years. Spacious, contemporary designs are common here, and many have Mediterranean Revival flourishes such as red-tiled rooftops, stucco walls and arched entrances. These homes are typically within planned subdivisions with well-maintained sidewalks, tree-lined streets and landscaped front lawns. As the streets extend east, rural properties and homes on large lots become more prominent. “Larger lots are getting harder and harder to find, but you’ll still see some bigger properties and even some horse farms,” Petersen says. Prices range from as low as $400,000 for smaller homes to as much as $1.4 million for a rural estate. About three-quarters of the community’s residents are homeowners.
