Western Lodi neighborhood close to grape vineyards and local shopping
The small western Lodi community of Sunwest features popular restaurants, sought-after schools and proximity to vineyards and farmland. “I enjoy it because it’s very community-oriented,” says Gene Reno, longtime area resident and Realtor for Keller Williams Realty. Residents are mostly families who move here for the well-rated schools, access to outdoor recreation and spacious lots. Narrow, asphalt neighborhood streets with the occasional “slow down” turtle sign connect to wider, two-lane roads like West Lodi Avenue, and crosswalks are scattered throughout. Along with attending Lodi’s farmers market and holiday celebrations downtown, Reno says Sunwest residents work together to keep the area safe. “We hear things, we see things, and the police are on top of everything. People look out for each other here,” he says.
