Residential and retail, rolled into one convenient neighborhood
As Sacramento grew in the 20th century, Arcade Park became desirable for its low-priced housing and quick commute. “That whole area was built up the 1950s for everyone who worked downtown,” says Heather Barnes, a Sacramento Realtor since 2014. “You have a lot of people that have been there for a long time, and first-time buyers can usually afford to live here, too.” This diverse community is sandwiched between two commercial areas on Watt Avenue and Auburn Boulevard, and it’s split by Interstate 80 down the middle. As a result, Arcade Park can feel different every quarter mile. Westernmost streets, for instance, are busier and more packed together, whereas eastern ones are more spread out. On either side, this residential-retail space is packed with oak trees, and schools get high ratings in all grade levels.
Ranch-styles with bigger lots, smaller prices
Since Arcade Park is over six square miles, housing styles vary in age and size: buyers could have a 1950s home under 1,000 square feet, or they might opt for a 2019-built home with double the square footage. Still, three- and four-bed ranch-styles are the most common home type here. They typically have lots much bigger than surrounding neighborhoods, and backyards have a few trees. In some cases, buyers can get this extra space without the extra price: prices align with neighboring North Edison and Del Paso Vale. On the other hand, Arcade Park’s tags are higher than Oakdale, Mira Loma and Haggin Park. Single-family homes north of Interstate 80 are priced between $300,000 and $695,000; mobile home parks are also found here, but properties don’t go up for sale often. East of the freeway, similar homes are between $450,000 and $560,000. Estates with even bigger lots and more square footage are in the south, and they’re found between $800,000 and $900,000.

Close to Interstate 80 and Capital City Freeway
Freeway access is one of the major draws of this neighborhood, as ramps onto Interstate 80 and the Capital City Freeway are right on the west side. Both routes lead about 10 miles into downtown Sacramento, they take 15 minutes with usual traffic. Accessible via the Watt Avenue / Interstate 80 Station, the Light Rail’s Blue Line is another option; it takes about 30 minutes but could be quicker during rush hour. Sri Siddhi Vinayaka Cultural Center is centrally located in Arcade Park, and it’s one of the few Hindu temples in Sacramento. Despite these conveniences, people will most likely need a car to get around.

Along the neighborhood’s west side, Watt Avenue is the closest place to eat and shop. Fast food spots are neighbors with locally owned restaurants such as El Parian Taqueria and Manna Thai. Industrial warehouses mix with stores like Walmart and Dollar Tree. While Khyber Market sells Afghani products and fresh meat in this district, more grocery options are north along Madison Avenue.

Fun in Arcade Creek Recreation and Park District
In the north, Hamilton Street Park offers shady oak trees and lawns for a quiet afternoon. Others might prefer to exercise on tennis courts, soccer fields, basketball courts and horseshoe pits. About 3 miles west, Oakdale Park sits right next to the elementary school of the same name, and its open field caters to picnickers and dog owners. Del Paso Regional Park is the southernmost park in this neighborhood, and its mile-long trail weaves through another oak grove. While this space doesn’t have many amenities right now, the City of Sacramento received a grant of $3.25 million in 2022. Officials plan to renovate the park’s baseball field and add sports courts by June 2025. About 2 miles south, Del Paso Country Club provides a championship course for members and their guests.
