Walnut Wood has a mix of retail, transit and a variety of home types
Walnut Wood is a primarily suburban neighborhood in Rancho Cordova, bisected by a commercial corridor on Sunrise Boulevard. “It’s a very vibrant, growing community,” says Rene Morales, a local real estate agent with eXp Realty. “The city has been good about trying to expand and attract more businesses to areas like this.” Aside from local restaurants and bars, the neighborhood is also close to the Rancho Cordova Farmers’ Market, and several schools are within walking distance for local families. Proximity to the freeway and light rail attracts commuters, though road noise may affect home values in some areas.
Single-family homes on the west side, plus duplexes and mobile homes
Walnut Wood’s west side is populated with ranch-style homes from the 1960s and ‘70s, often featuring two-car garages and square front lawns dotted with pine trees. Single-story townhomes and duplexes are mixed towards the neighborhood’s center, along with apartment complexes. Floorplans across the board include three or four bedrooms, typically ranging from $300,000 to $700,000. On the neighborhood’s east side, Mobil Country Club, a gated senior living community, has manufactured homes for between $20,000 and $170,000.

Several schools within walking distance

The B-rated Cordova High School has a video production pathway that teaches students how to use professional equipment and software while producing a biweekly school news broadcast. Walnut Wood is also home to the B-rated Walnutwood High, which offers online and traditional independent study programs for students in need of a more flexible schedule.

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.
Centrally located park space and nearby river access
Dave Roberts Community Park, located between W.E. Mitchell Middle and Williamson Elementary, has playgrounds and open fields shaded by a few mature oak trees. Baseball and soccer fields host casual pick-up games. Locals can access the banks of the American River at the nearby Sunrise Recreation Area, where kayaking and swimming are popular.
