Elverta adds suburban convenience to a semi-rural landscape
Elverta is a sprawling residential area with narrow country roads and a wide selection of homes sitting between rolling farmland or within subdivisions, about 14 miles north of downtown Sacramento. Golf courses and county parks are a quick drive away from most homes, and there are multiple school districts zoned for the area. “It’s kind of suburban, but less populated than some of the surrounding areas,” says Realtor Jeff Schubot with Realty One Group, who has over 20 years of experience. “The starting price for a home is also less expensive.”
Elverta blends wide-open farmland with quiet subdivisions minutes from Sacramento.
Farms surrounding Elverta offer open views and local produce in season.

Neighborhoods and country roads of single-family homes
Most properties in Elverta are lined along narrow country roads and sit on large lots accompanied by additional farmland. “You have larger properties and a mix of equestrian-type properties. A lot of people will decide they like to keep chicken, or sheep and horses,” Schubot says. However, there are also a handful of traditional suburban neighborhoods. Rancho Elverta, Gibson Meadows and Quail Ranch are all pocket subdivisions, where the properties are clustered together and come with grassy front lawns, decorative shrubbery and driveways. “The streets and houses are not cookie-cutter. There are many housing options, so it’s got a little charm to it,” Schubot says.
Single-story homes built between the 1950s and 1980s are the most common housing type. Some have simple vinyl siding, while others have a cottage core, with front porch areas and decorative exteriors. Sprawling, midcentury ranchers are also popular, with pointed roofs and bright colors. Houses within the Gibson Oaks and Cherry Creek subdivisions in the eastern part of Elverta are more contemporary in design. Prices range from $325,000 to $900,000, depending on property size and condition.
The CAP Index Crime Score in Elverta is 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.

Elverta’s hot climate and low crime
According to the FEMA National Risk Index, Elverta has a relatively high chance of earthquakes. Additionally, the area’s dry climate runs the risk of heat waves and potential wildfires during the warmer months. As such, the Sacramento Metro Fire District has two stations protecting the area.
Exploring the area’s parks, golf courses and bikeways
Multiple parks and green spaces dot the area. Gibson Ranch Regional Park is a 355-acre space with two playgrounds, a lake for fishing and a dog park. A large equestrian center on the grounds provides horse riding lessons, trail riding opportunities and boarding. “There’s even an area where you can go and pet animals, if you’re into that,” Schubot says. The park is in the process of adding a community garden and pumpkin patch with its newest improvements, set to be completed in the spring of 2026. Nearby, the Cherry Island Golf Course has 18 holes open to the public. There’s also the Antelope Greens Golf Course, with its executive-level course. The Cherry Island Sports Complex has 10 athletic fields on its grounds for youth soccer leagues and tournaments.
Cyclists can hop on the Sacramento Northern Bikeway Trail, which travels north and south through the area and covers over 100 miles along the former Sacramento Northern Railway.

Traveling along Elverta’s winding roads
Elverta’s expansive landscape and narrow country roads require a vehicle to navigate, though cycling is enjoyed recreationally. Elverta Road is the area’s main thoroughfare, traveling east and west. While the Sacramento McClellan Airport is only 8 miles south of the neighborhood for general aviation, most travelers use the Sacramento International Airport, about 10 miles west, for commercial flights.
