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.
Ranch-style homes on up to 1-acre lots
Homes here are mostly ranch-style houses built between the 1940s and ‘90s. Set along narrow, sidewalk-lined streets, these three-to-four-bedroom homes typically feature front- or side-gabbled roofs, well-manicured yards and driveways with or without garages; front and backyards are enclosed by chain-link or wooden, shadowbox fences. Square footage and lot sizes determine prices here. Homes between 750 and 1,600 feet on lots of up to an acre range from $230,000 to $460,000. Duplexes with up to five bedrooms and detached garages sell for between $400,000 and $565,000, while vacant lots of up to half an acre range from $53,000 to $180,000.

I love how our community come together and try their best to help each other make life easier. I love the way we all know each other in this community. Many people are able to communicate because we live very close to each other. Although we have such a close relation i would like to see many things changed like how dirty the streets gets and how unsafe it feels sometimes. Sometimes people just tend to dump things on the streets making it dirty and unsanitary.

The Del Paso Heights area is not really a nice or safe area. There are a lot of shootings and fights that happen, as well as cars just zooming pass the streets, which can be a bit scary for families with young children. I would like to see maybe a bit more safety regulations around that area, especially since there is also a school nearby with kids everyday.
