Suburban living in South West Elk Grove

Located between Interstate 5 and California state Route 99, South West Elk Grove features newer subdivision communities and commercial centers. Establishments such as Costco and Trader Joe’s anchor the area’s retail scene, while many public parks and highly rated schools sit next to recently developed residential homes. “Elk Grove has a diversification of employment, education and hospitals, and you don’t have to go outside the city to get what you need,” says Victoria Witham, who is the owner of Witham Real Estate and has over 20 years of experience. “This helps with resale value and properties also maintain their value. This part of the city has higher Mello-Roos, which is higher taxes, but residents here enjoy newer infrastructure.”
