Homes built from the 1960s to early 2000s

Meadowbrook's flat landscape and plethora of single-story homes allow the ridges of distant mountains to shape the horizon. Lining the streets are different subdivisions, such as Brookside Glen. Most of these properties were originally built throughout the 1960s, '70s and '80s, as well as during a short-lived building cycle that kicked off in the early 2000s. The simple and classic designs of Minimal Traditional architecture and the earthy, elegant features of Spanish eclectic architecture blend together to give the neighborhood a grounded aesthetic. Still, no two homes are precisely the same. Some more contemporary-inspired split-level properties can be found as well. Common features include driveways and two-car garages, but the roads are wide enough for ample street parking as well. Listing prices range between $357,000 and $696,000. Homeowners interested in living in a 55-plus community can also check out Delta Hawaii, a close-knit manufactured-home community on the north side of the area.

Outdoor space at Buchanan Park and Delta de Anza Trail

Buchanan Park is a community green space, perfect for breaking a sweat or just getting a breath of fresh air. Its shaded picnic areas and barbecue pits make for great gathering spots, and in the summertime, local kids flock to the park's pool and playground. Local runners, bikers and horseback riders take advantage of the Delta de Anza Trail, a paved 15-mile path that winds through the neighborhood's center, commemorating the route traveled by Juan Bautista de Anza, an 18th-century Spanish explorer.
