A former thoroughbred horse racing farm turned Sacramento suburb
Suburban Del Paso Heights was the site of a thoroughbred horse breeding farm, home to California’s first Kentucky Derby winner, Ben Ali. Now, the neighborhood about 9 miles northeast of downtown Sacramento is a community of 41,000 residents and zero horses. Many of the neighborhood’s single-family homes sit close together, while others are spread out on larger lots. “Some folks own more land out here,” says Mark McDonough, Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who has 11 years of experience selling in the area. “I once sold to a family here who started a cactus farm on their property.” Interstate 80 borders the neighborhood to the north, and greenspaces and shops are just a few miles away. Nearby houses of worship include Hmong Family Community Alliance Church, Allen Chapel AME Church and True Holiness Church of God.

There's a lot of crime and if you look up Megan's law there's a bunch of sex offenders registered here more then any other neighborhood in sac. I didn't grow up here but I bought a house 4 years ago here and it's not Compton but it's still a bad area. There's a lot of gangs and drug addicts. Not everyone is bad though there's people who want to improve the neighborhood but unfortunately there's not a lot of opportunities here.

I have lived in Del Paso Heights my entire life. I would grow up hearing people say how Del Paso Heights is a hood or urban area where a lot of bad crimes happen; however, since living here I have been through a shooting next door and a drive by at my high school during my cheer-leading practice, but, besides all that, I love Del Paso Heights and in the recent 10 years the crime has gone down drastically. I have never been afraid to walk out my door here where I live. The schools are great in this area as well. There are barely any bad fights and behavior being reported by the schools. On Del Paso Road there is a nice nightlife, a club and a gym.
