Cordova Gardens is a suburban enclave set on the American River
Cordova Gardens, named for the elementary school at the neighborhood’s center, is a suburban community full of midcentury ranch-style homes in Rancho Cordova, bordered by the American River. “It’s a fairly affordable area, and you have great access to trails,” says Rene Morales, a local real estate agent at eXp Realty with over 30 years of experience in the Sacramento area. The American River Parkway, a 32-mile bike trail, cuts through the neighborhood’s north end, and locals can access the waterfront at Hagan Community Park. On the south side, Folsom Boulevard is lined with light rail stations and local restaurants.
Midcentury ranch-style homes on compact lots
Minimalist ranch-style homes in Cordova Gardens were mostly built in the 1950s, with a few infill properties from the '80s. Lots tend to be uniform and compact, often enclosed by wire fencing and dotted with cypress and maple trees. Wide streets allow plenty of space for street parking, though most homes have at least a one-car garage. Three- to four-bedroom floorplans range from $300,000 to $550,000. There is a flood zone on the neighborhood’s north side, near the American River. However, residential properties are generally unaffected.

Parks and bike trails near the American River
Hagan Community Park is one of Rancho Cordova’s largest and most popular green spaces. Located between Cordova High and the American River, the nearly 80-acre park includes tennis courts, playgrounds and a dog park. On the edge of the park, locals can access the riverfront using narrow dirt trails, which lead to small rock beaches shaded by mature oak trees. In the summer, this becomes a popular spot to fish or launch kayaks. The American River Parkway, a 32-mile riverfront trail that passes through Hagan Community Park, is a major draw for bikers and hikers.
