They usually need larger homes, and that area has them. They need extra bedrooms and to be close to parks and schools,” says Mary Ann Pettis, a Realtor with Century 21 King who has sold multiple homes in Citrus Heights. “It’s definitely a family-oriented area.” Residents of Citrus Heights benefit from the convenience of nearby schools, major highways and local parks with plenty of outdoor activity.

Suburban homes with Spanish features
Homes in Citrus Heights are typically new traditional suburban houses, often with Spanish-style influences such as tile roofs and stucco siding. They usually have two stories and come with spacious built-in garages on the front. Much of the area is gated, offering added security for residents. Homes are close together, giving the neighborhood a suburban vibe. Sidewalks line the streets, connecting well-maintained yards and offering walkability along the quiet streets. Several cul-de-sacs in the neighborhood provide secluded spots with low traffic where children can learn to ride their bikes. Houses are often 3,000 to 4,000 square feet, and many have four or five bedrooms, giving homeowners plenty of room for bedrooms, home offices or guest rooms. These large homes typically sell for $700,000 to $900,000. There are some townhouses and condos in the neighborhood as well. These are usually around 2,000 square feet and cost between $500,000 and $600,000. Homebuyers should be aware that the neighborhood has a high risk of wildfires due to its location at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains.

Plenty of activity at local parks
Citrus Heights residents have easy access to outdoor recreation at Fontana Park, a large green space with several amenities in the neighborhood. Locals can head to the park for a day at the aquatic center, which includes a lap pool, water slides and splash pad. The skate park has several ramps and bowls where residents can work on their skills. Several playgrounds, an indoor gym and a covered hockey rink add to the fun at this expansive city park. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy teeing off at Sierra Lakes Golf Club, just east of the neighborhood. This public 18-hole course provides a challenging round of golf in the shadow of the scenic Southern California mountains. The nearby Ralph M. Lewis Sports Complex is the place to be for youth sports, with multiple football and soccer fields. For even more outdoor activity, residents are conveniently located near the San Gabriel Mountains. This mountain range offers plenty of scenic hiking trails through designated wilderness areas. Residents can enjoy a serene outing and are rewarded with pristine views of the surrounding area.

Convenient access to shopping and dining
Several shopping centers nearby make it easy to pick up essentials and other household items. Falcon Ridge Town Center is just 1 mile west of the neighborhood and has a Target, Stater Bros. Market and other national retailers. Summit Heights Gateway is another shopping center just across Beech Avenue. Residents can head here to pick up groceries at Aldi or shop for clothing and household items at Kohl’s and Marshalls. There are a few fast-food options and chain restaurants in these shopping centers, but Pettis says there are many more just a short drive away. “That area is just a hop and skip away from Rancho Cucamonga, which has more restaurants than I can count,” she says. Victoria Gardens is a large outdoor mall in Rancho Cucamonga, about 6 miles southwest of Citrus Heights on I-15. The shopping center has several popular restaurants, including Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que, known for its slow-smoked meats and laid-back, retro décor.
