Military housing turned established neighborhood
After World War II, thousands of servicemen were stationed at McClellan Air Force Base in Sacramento, and they needed a place to live — as soon as possible. Arden Manor quickly became one of those places, with most homes constructed in 1952. Today, mature trees and landscaping are evidence of this legacy, and this established neighborhood has welcomed a diverse population since then. “It’s great for starters and people who want to rent, but there are a lot of longtime residents,” says Realtor Keith Erickson, the top seller in Arden Manor and a former resident of 27 years. “After the recession, it’s starting to become an owner-occupied neighborhood again.” In addition to budget-friendly housing prices, people are drawn to the quick 7-mile commute to Sacramento; retail options on Arden Way and Fulton Avenue are often less than a mile away, too. While not directly on the American River, this neighborhood is only 2 miles from the water.
Postwar ranch-styles in a quick market
Since most homes were built in the 1950s, they have simple siding exteriors, fenced-in backyards and one-car garages. These ranch-styles typically have three bedrooms and are around 1,300 square feet. “Most are renovated or have additions, and every now and then, you’ll have original metal cabinets and interiors,” says Erickson. “The houses sell quickly when they’re priced right.” Most homes sell in 21 days, quicker than the national average of 43 days. Overall, the median price in Arden Manor is about half of neighboring Arden Park, and it’s one of the more affordable neighborhoods in eastern Sacramento. Three-bedrooms go between $290,000 and $660,000, and prices are largely driven by square footage. Homes closer to major thoroughfares — Hurley Way and Morse Avenue — tend to be on the lower end, as they have to deal with increased noise and occasional speeders.

Nearby retail and restaurants; driveable to Pavilions, Arden Fair
On the north end, small businesses and car dealerships line Arden Way. More shops, selling everything from jewelry to comics, are southbound on Fulton Avenue — some of which are important to the neighborhood's community spirit. “Exotic Plant is a nice community store that a lot of people go to,” says Denette Steele, a Sacramento Realtor and Broker since 2011. “They do classes on how to care for succulents and gardens.” Local restaurants are scattered throughout this district, too. Abyssinia serves traditional Ethiopian food such as lamb stew, and just down the street, Field House American Sports Pub offers 28 beers on tap. At the corner of Fulton and Fair Oaks Boulevard, Loehmann’s Plaza Shopping Center features local chains and a Save Mart grocery store. Pavilions is a walkable outdoor mall close by, and it specializes in upscale shopping and dining. Shoppers can try Piatti Ristorante & Bar or Ruth’s Chris Steak House, then stroll over to Chico’s or Madam Butterfly. For an indoor mall, Arden Fair is just west and offers over 150 shops.

Its community pool is open from June through August, and its community center hosts summer camps and volunteer days. In the south, Jonas Larkspur Park has tennis courts, soccer fields and a nature area; its pond was cleaned in 2023, so paths now have an improved view. Walkers and bikers can head 2 miles south to the American River Bike Trail, a 32-mile route that leads to uptown Sacramento. Alternatively, they might drive across the Howe Avenue Bridge and drop a kayak into the southern shoreline. Fishers can try for stripers, shad and the occasional trout.
