Parkway offers suburban living between Sacramento and Elk Grove
Parkway is a suburban community that skirts the southern edge of Sacramento, California’s capital city. It’s mostly residential, but has several local parks, a recreation center and a few shopping plazas. “Parkway’s main appeal is that it’s affordable. You’re getting more for your money here than if you lived in either Sacramento or Elk Grove, but you’re still within commuting distance,” says Realtor Tony Nguyen of LPT Realty, who has been working in and around Sacramento for the last 8 years. Residents are also conveniently located near a major local hospital and a local commuter highway, Nguyen says.
Parkway has great parks, schools and shopping centers.
Kaiser Medical Center in Parkway has a farmers market every Sunday morning.

Most of Parkway’s homes date back to the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s. Homebuyers will find everything from spacious Traditional homes to split levels and ranch styles popular at the time. Its flat, suburban streets are lined with small, landscaped front yards, sidewalks and leafy trees. Prices typically range from $350,000 to $500,000, putting it well below Sacramento’s median home price. Southwind Mobile Estates and South Gate Mobile Estates offer a more affordable option, with manufactured homes listing for $100,000 to $200,000. A handful of apartments and condos are also available in the area. Just over half of the residents of Parkway are renters. “It’s a mixed bag, but there are plenty of nice single-family homes that get a good price,” Nguyen says.
