The Rancho Cordova neighborhood has easy access to an extensive network of hiking and biking trails, while less than a mile from U.S. Route 50. “Both Folsom and Downtown Sacramento are within a 20-minute drive of Sun River,” says Ana Alvarez, a local real estate agent with LPT Realty, Inc. “A lot of people move to the east end of Sacramento to be close to the Franchise Tax Board building. It’s one of the biggest employers in the city.”

Tree-lined streets and 1970s architecture
The bungalows and ranch-style homes of Sun River were built between the late 1970s and 1980s, and houses sit close together on 5,000 to 10,000-square-foot lots. Well-landscaped front lawns are common, and many homes have trees and foliage providing a degree of privacy between their neighbors. “Move-in ready homes in this area tend to not stay on the market for very long,” Alvarez says. “The last home I had hit the market was sold within 10 days.” Single-family homes range from $460,000 to around $645,000, while two-to-three-bedroom condos can go for $260,000 to $320,000.
