Parkway offers suburban living between Sacramento and Elk Grove
Parkway is a suburban community at 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. It sits just north of Elk Grove, a fast-growing suburban city. “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 nearly 10 years. Residents are also conveniently located near a major hospital and a commuter highway, Nguyen says.
Parkway has great parks, schools and shopping centers.
Kaiser Medical Center in Parkway has a farmers market every Sunday morning.

Homes, condos and manufactured homes are well below the city’s median price
Most of Parkway’s homes date back to the 1960s, '70s and '80s. Homebuyers will find everything from spacious Traditional homes to split-level and ranch-style houses. Its flat, suburban streets are lined with small, landscaped front yards, sidewalks and leafy trees. Prices typically range from $350,000 to $500,000, often putting homes well below Sacramento’s median sale price of about $490,000. Southwind Mobile Estates and South Gate Mobile Estates offer a more affordable option, with manufactured homes selling 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.
Traditional and ranch-style homes are common in Parkway.
Parkway features both single-story and two-story ranch-style homes.

The Florin Creek Recreation Center is nearby and has an indoor amphitheater for local events, a playground and walking paths. Avid golfers can tee up at the Bing Maloney Golf Course, a public course located a few miles away.
