Fourth of July celebration held at Hagan Community Park
Community events are held less than 4 miles away at Hagan Community Park. The annual Fourth of July All-American Celebration lasts two days, including two firework shows and a community parade down Coloma Road. The event, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2025, also features carnival rides and live music.Bordered by freeway, close to Sacramento public transit
The community is bordered by U.S. Route 50, which leads about 15 miles to downtown Sacramento. “The proximity to the freeway makes it popular for people who work in Sacramento or throughout the area,” Morales says. Road noise is prominent near the freeway and Sunrise Boulevard. The Gold Line light rail is another option for commuters, running alongside the freeway, and Sacramento Regional Transit bus routes connect Rancho Cordova to neighboring suburbs. Bike lanes line major roadways like Coloma Road. Mercy San Juan Medical Center is 6 miles away, while Sacramento International Airport is about 20 miles away.Grocery stores, restaurants and weekly farmers market on Sunrise Boulevard
Commercial space is concentrated at the corner of Sunrise Boulevard and Coloma Road. In addition to thrift stores and auto centers, there are grocery stores like Smart & Final Extra and Grocery Outlet, as well as fast-food chains like In-N-Out. Locally owned eateries include Jasper’s Giant Burgers, known for its large portions and milkshakes, and Thai Smile & Sushi, which offers a mix of East Asian cuisine. Root of Happiness Kava Bar is a unique addition to the local community serving kava, a beverage that originated in the Pacific Islands and is known to have a relaxing effect. Just south of the freeway, the Rancho Cordova Certified Farmers’ Market takes place outside the Sunrise Light Rail Station every Saturday.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
