Local staple has witnessed this suburb’s past and present
Tony Baloney’s may seem unassuming on the outside, but there’s a story of five-plus decades inside. This sandwich shop has been serving locally renowned subs since 1972, and it’s a staple of Haggin Park. “Everyone knows Tony around town,” says Stephanie Lair, daughter of the local celebrity and now-owner of the restaurant. “We used to be across the street from McLellan Air Force Base, so the GIs would come over. They’d have orders of 100 sandwiches or more, so it was pretty crazy in the 1960s and 70s. That’s been a big part of the crowd that keeps coming back. They bring their kids, and their kids bring their kids.” This perpetuity is a symbol of the surrounding neighborhood: while it’s changed a lot over the years, residents have stayed and welcomed a new crowd into the mix. Though people still tend to work with their hands around here, young professionals have arrived in search of cheaper housing prices and a quick commute to downtown; families enjoy bigger yards and proximity to Madison Avenue shopping; and singles can go to a city party in a flash.
Nearby retail and attractions on Madison Ave
Madison Avenue runs east to west, right through the middle of the neighborhood. This drivable district houses many of the area’s busy shops and restaurants, and it’s less than a mile from all homes. Among well-known chains such as Target and Mattress Firm, local businesses sell car parts, appliances and more. Small-town grocers, such as Gatronom Kiev Market and Teremok European Store, specialize in products from across the pond. Near fast food spots, Cricket Country Kitchen offers homestyle breakfast and an eclectic interior, adorned with license plates and other Americana.
Indoor attractions are also a key feature of this district. North of Madison, Sky Zone is a trampoline park where visitors can play high-flying basketball and other games. Bowlero, just south, has 50 bowling lanes that cater to private groups and parties. October brings the Sacramento Scream Park to life — or, rather, death — when ghouls and ghosts haunt its themed exhibitions.
Target is located in Haggin Park.

Diverse housing types: mobile homes, condos and houses
While owners only make up a quarter of this market, they have a lot of options in Haggin Park. Next to Arcade Creek and Madison Avenue, Brookside Mobile Home Park offers two-bedrooms around 1,000 square feet, and they range from $20,000 to $110,000. Condos are the next step up, east of Garfield Avenue and priced between $185,000 and $350,000. These are a similar size, and most are renovated with new interiors. Single-family homes are mostly west of Garfield, but some higher-end properties are in the southeast corner of the neighborhood. In both cases, these ranch-styles could have two, three or four bedrooms, and they range from $265,000 to $685,000. Their backyards usually have some room, as the median lot size in Haggin Park is slightly bigger than neighboring Foothill Farms, Citrus Heights and Merrihill. Most properties were built in the 1970s, but buyers can find stuff from the 1940s and 2010s, too. Even with this variation, Haggin Park’s median sale price is less than most surrounding neighborhoods.

Fun along Arcade Creek, Del Paso Regional Park improvements
In the southeast corner of the neighborhood, Arcade Creek Park has a playground decorated with animal carvings, and kids can enjoy its ground-level rope swing. This green space connects to the Jo Smith Nature Trail, a half-mile path along Arcade Creek. Hikers, if they’re lucky, can see wild turkeys in the fall and salmon in the summer. The trail butts up against American River College’s Horticulture Department, where goats and garden beds make up a miniature farm, and sports fans are right next to the college’s football and soccer stadiums. Just west, Del Paso Regional Park doesn’t have many amenities, but it does have a mile-long trail under an oak grove. The City of Sacramento plans to improve the park via a $3.25 million grant, which will fund a baseball field renovation, new walkways and sports courts by June 2025. Smaller parks are in the northern part of the neighborhood: with seven acres or less, Eugene H. Ahner and Walerga Parks feature open fields, sports courts and playgrounds.

Downtown Sacramento: Interstate 80 and public transit
“American River College is about five minutes from Madison Avenue, so it’s a great area for students or professors,” says Gina Haskell, a Sacramento Real Estate Agent since 2021. “Mercy San Juan Hospital isn’t far from there either, so rental properties can be used short-term for traveling nurses or other health care workers.” Madison Avenue also leads west to Interstate 80. This freeway, in conjunction with Highway 160, takes commuters 11 miles into downtown Sacramento. However, this 15-minute route can often clog during rush hour. The No. 1 bus provides an alternative since it connects to the Light Rail’s Blue Line. While this option saves from traffic, it takes about an hour.
American River College offers programs both on campus and online in Haggin Park.
Access to Interstate 80 is just minutes away from Haggin Park.

Two elementary options with Twin Rivers Unified Schools
Students in the north can attend Pioneer Elementary, a kindergarten through eighth school that’s rated a B by Niche. They also consider it the No. 4 elementary school in Sacramento, ahead of 50 others. Southern-facing students likely attend Oakdale Elementary: it serves the same grade levels and gets a C from Niche. Both regions can enroll at Foothill High, which receives a B-minus from Niche. After construction was completed in February 2024, its Aquatic Center now has a 13-lane competition pool. All schools are a mile or two from the neighborhood.
