An aerial overview of the neighborhood of Central Sacramento.
Central Sacramento, a convenient neighborhood
Central Sacramento offers residents access to nearby dining and outdoor recreation. Residents of Central Sacramento primarily occupy townhouses, condos and early 20th-century single-family homes in New Era Park. “I’d describe it as a community in transition,” says Realtor Kelli Griggs, who owns Navigate Realty and has sold homes in the area. “Its main draw is that residents still have access to more desirable areas like Midtown and East Sacramento, but New Era is just so much cheaper and there are more homes for sale.” The neighborhood is close to one of Sacramento's largest parks, several bus stops and a light rail station.
Renovated classic homes
“Listings in Midtown and East Sacramento are almost always bought up immediately for about $1 million-plus, but in New Era, houses stay on the market for longer and usually sell for around $700,000,” Griggs says. “So, with less inventory in Midtown and East Sacramento, we see more homebuyers renovating older homes in New Era.” Most houses are located south of the railroad tracks running through the community. A two-bedroom contemporary-style townhome built in 2010 sells for $495,000. Homebuyers can purchase a two-bedroom 1890s wood-sided bungalow for $675,000. A 1920s brick-exterior A-frame sells for $680,000. A three-bedroom early-20th-century bungalow sells for $740,000.
