East Lodi
Older and newer homes in East Lodi
Single-family homes here sit close together in oak and pine-tree-lined streets ending in cul-de-sacs. The dark asphalt roadways here are narrow and dotted with old lampposts. Most areas have sidewalks, and many folks park their vehicles in the street. Remodeled early 20th-century bungalows with stucco exteriors are near the neighborhood’s center, while brick and vinyl ranch-style properties built between the 1970s and ‘90s are found further south. These two to three-bedroom houses have short driveways touching small fenced-in backyards; homes are priced from around $300,000 to $500,000. Two-story modern Spanish-Revival homes built in the early 2000s and 2020s and new traditional houses all sit in the southern pocket of East Lodi. Some homes feature tree-shaded back decks and sit in well-kept subdivisions like Villas and Sonterra. Prices range between $550,000 and $750,000.

Shopping for Mexican spices and halal meat
Within the neighborhood, locals pick up freshly sliced meat and imported spices from Mexico at Rancho San Miguel. Residents can also walk next door to Lodi Halal Meat for lamb, goat and other goods. Costco Wholesale is another grocer option near the southern border. Tin Roof BBQ serves smoked ribs with tri-tip chili, and locally owned Habanero Hots cooks traditional Mexican plates. Wine tasting is also a popular activity for East Lodi neighbors. In an unassuming, plain stucco building, St. Amant Winery pours zinfandels and red blends made from its vineyard grapes. In the neighboring Downtown Lodi, Jeremy Wine Company has wine flights with charcuterie boards. For shopping, folks can browse used home décor at Lodi House Thrift Boutique or venture to Lodi Junction for gently used clothes and shoes.

Bringing the community together at National Night Out
Since 2014, the neighborhood has participated in the city’s National Night Out event. East Lodi neighbors gather at nearby Blakely Park with local police officers to play games, eat food and mingle. For 2024’s National Night Out, Reno says the city non-profit, Love Lodi, is donating around 1,500 backpacks to students in need at the event. In October, East Lodi neighbors head a few miles west to Downtown Lodi for the annual Wicked Wine Stroll. Visitors dressed in black witch hats and spooky costumes taste wines from more than 20 local wineries while browsing downtown shops. On Thursday nights from May to September, people can check out canned goods and organic vegetables at the Lodi Certified Farmers Market downtown.After school Spanish tutoring at Tokay High
The area is zoned for the Lodi Unified School District. Kids can start at Lois E. Borchardt Elementary, which offers kindergarten through sixth grade, and continue to Lodi Middle for grades seven and eight. Both schools score a C-plus from Niche. The B-rated Tokay High is known for its Before and After School Program where students can get Biology and Spanish tutoring and opportunities to play board games like Dungeons and Dragons.

Loads of grassy outdoor spots in East Lodi
Within the community, residents can head to Salas Park to practice their throws in the baseball fields, hang out on the playground or take a walk in the open, grassy spaces. Some homeowners can walk to Blakely Park, which features a basketball court, outdoor pool and the Lodi Boys and Girls Club, where kids can attend summer camp and fundraising events. Folks can access the 114-acre Lodi Lake at the northern border for swimming, boating and other water activities. Visitors can rent kayaks from the Lodi Boathouse, and anglers set up lakeside to fish. Locals can travel a mile west to the World of Wonders Science Museum downtown for a break from the outdoors.
Getting around East Lodi via bike, car and bus
State Route 99—also known as Highway 99—travels through the neighborhood, giving access to Sacramento 37 miles north and Stockton 15 miles south. The major thoroughfare, Kettleman Lane, runs east-west through the area and connects residents to nearby neighborhoods like Central Lodi. Traffic is usually light in East Lodi, except when folks are commuting to and from work and school via Highway 99. The community is fairly walkable, and streets like Beckman and Stockton have bike lanes. Grape Line Express buses also stop in and around the neighborhood. Adventist Health Lodi Memorial Hospital is 2 miles northwest of the area, and Sacramento International Airport is a 50-mile drive north.Combating crime and the heat in East Lodi
East Lodi has an overall CAP Crime Index Score of 4, higher than neighboring areas like Central Lodi which scores an overall 3. Reno says there’s generally more crime, like car break-ins and some gang activity, in East Lodi compared to other parts of the city. He says there can be a disconnect between the communities in the west and east sides of town. To reduce crime and strengthen community bonds, the police department holds events like National Night Out. “We want to meld both sides together to show support and that we’re there to help,” Reno says. Since 2012, the One-Eighty Teen Center has provided kids in Lodi with a safe place to play games, learn new skills and seek counseling. Reno says three counselors have exclusively moved to East Lodi to serve residents there.Extremely hot temperatures can hit San Joaquin County in the summer, which can be especially hard for some East Lodi residents because of outdated home AC systems. Locals can escape the heat at nearby designated cooling centers, Lodi Public Library and Lodi Community Center. Free transportation to the cooling centers is provided by Grape Line buses. For homeowners, the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services suggests using attic fans to clear hot air, and to cover windows with drapes.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
