Neighborhood in Oroville, California

Homes
Homes in Palermo are primarily single-family and manufactured. “This area is also on affordable acreage compared to anywhere else. If I’m looking for five acres to put a trailer on, this will be the place,” Voight says. Single-story ranch-style homes are standard, as are more contemporary builds on large plots of land. Homes range in price from around $280,000 for a four-bedroom home with about 1,500 square feet to $825,000 for a four-bedroom contemporary home with about 3,500 square feet. Manufactured homes start around $16,000 for a home on a small lot to over $400,000 for a home on at least five acres.Parks
Though the area has limited dedicated public green space, Palermo Park is the perfect place for a party. The horseshoe pits, covered picnic shelter and the gazebo are all available to rent per day. Kids can spend all day on the playground, and parents appreciate the public restrooms. The Palermo Pool sits at the same site as the park on Ludlum Avenue. There is a small wading pool and a main pool with a slide into 10 feet of water. The pool facility was closed for repairs in the 2024 season.Schools
The Palermo Union Elementary School District serves school-age children in Palermo and is graded C by Niche. Golden Hills Elementary and Palermo Middle are both graded C by Niche. The Oroville Union High School District is graded B-minus, like Las Plumas High School. Home of the Thunderbirds, LPHS has a full slate of athletic activities including football, cheer, volleyball and golf, among many others.Events
Feather Falls Casino & Lodge is the entertainment center of Palermo. “They’ve been growing for over a decade, and they just keep getting bigger. Now it has a hotel,” Voight says. “That’s where people go for comedy shows and music venues; they pull people in with events.”Transportation
Palermo is situated along state Route 70, which runs north through Oroville, toward Chico and south toward Sacramento. The area is mostly rural, with a few main thoroughfares like Palermo and Lone Tree roads and the Palermo-Honcutt Highway. Oroville Municipal Airport is about 9 miles away, though most people fly out of Sacramento. The community is about 65 miles north of Sacramento via CA-70, a drive that can take 90 minutes to two hours at rush hours. The area has no public transportation options, so residents require a car.Shopping and Dining
Palermo is almost entirely residential, so shopping and dining are done nearby in Oroville. For stocking up on groceries, there is a Raley’s in Currier Square Center about 6 miles north via Lincoln Boulevard. Petco, Marshalls, AutoZone and Ace Hardware are in or around the shopping center. National chain favorites like Denny’s, Popeyes and Carl’s Jr. are among the many fast casual food offerings. Jenn’s Café is a popular breakfast spot in a modest venue known for its food and service. The biscuits and gravy and chicken fried steak are among the menu’s most popular items. The Cow Café & Grill is another place serving homestyle American favorites.

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.
