Housing options range from manufactured to million-dollar homes

Sutter has mostly single-family homes, many built in the late 1940s, and you'll find duplexes and triplexes throughout the area. On the newer end, gated communities built in the late 2010s offer Spanish-style architecture and amenities like community pools. Single-family homes can range from the lower $600,000s to the upper $700,000s. A few of the homes in the gated Riverdale community have gone for around $1 million. “It’s a medium-priced neighborhood by California standards,” says Realtor Michael Robinson with Broadmoor Realty, Inc., who has been selling real estate in Long Beach since 1977. “The affordability of the area is the driving factor for residents.”

The Del Amo Mobile Home Park is also located in Sutter. The 55-plus community has a clubhouse and pool for residents, and its manufactured homes can sell for around $60,000 to the upper $100,000s,
