Campus Commons, the well-to-do spot on the river
Campus Commons is a peaceful, well-to-do neighborhood along the famous American River and its cycling trails. Homes in the area were designed by Robert C. Powell, a prolific Sacramento-area developer who built more than 7,000 homes in the region between 1960 and 2007, and are overseen by homeowners associations. Residents have access to various exclusive neighborhood amenities and are only a short commute away from Midtown.

Uniform homes upkept by HOAs
The neighborhood is made up of a good mix of single-family homes, condos and town houses. Most homes cost between $440,000 and $600,000 and come with two to three bedrooms. Richard Swayne of Dunnigan Realtor describes the neighborhood's uniformity—the homes' designs and colors come in coordinating earth-tone browns and blend well with the area’s greenery and mature trees. Swayne also mentions that the area is popular among homeowners who are looking for properties that are easy to upkeep. “A lot of people who are downsizing move to the area,” he says. “Buyers don’t have to worry about keeping up appearances; the associations make sure the yards are well-maintained. Homeowners just have to take care of the inside.” Campus Commons Clubhouse and the Nepenthe Homeowners Association provide amenities to the planned homes inside “The Commons.” Community members can access two lakes, clubhouse services, pools, spas, tennis courts and playgrounds through these associations.
