Neighborhood Reviews
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.

Criminal justice academy at Grant Union High School
Local kids may attend the Twin Rivers Unified district schools. Del Paso Heights Elementary offers an after-school Expanded Learning Program that encourages families to participate in their kids’ learning. Rio Tierra Junior High provides honors classes and a cooking club; both schools earn an overall C rating from Niche. At B-rated Grant Union High School, students can join the Criminal Justice Magnet Academy, which emphasizes developing marketable career skills. Also here is C-plus-rated Keema School for Independent Study, an alternative high school with a voluntary placement program, serving kindergarten through Grade 12.

League soccer games at Hagginwood Park
Neighborhood greenspaces are within walking distance of most residential streets. North Avenue Park to the north offers a baseball diamond, while centrally, the roughly 4-acre Margarette “Mama” Marks Park has a playground and basketball courts. In the neighborhood’s southern end, 16-acre Hagginwood Park, is named after the family that owned the horse farm. The park hosts local youth and adult league soccer games; there’s also seven picnic areas here. Its adjacent community center offers after-school activities, Tai Chi classes and bingo for seniors. Bordering Del Paso Heights to the west, Redding Park’s multi-use paved path stretches about a mile between open fields.

Soul food at Tori’s Place
Restaurants and grocers sit inside the neighborhood. To the east, locally owned Tori’s Place is a counter-serve eatery specializing in gumbo and fried chicken, served inside a trellis-enclosed dining room adorned with African artwork. In the western end there's Jimmy’s Deli Soul Food and Hmong Cuisine, an American-Asian fusion restaurant offering wings and fish with egg rolls. Grocery store options include Viva Supermarket and a nearby Rivera Mart, while the nearest retailers like Ross Dress for Less are found 3 miles west of the neighborhood. Big-box stores, such as Walmart sit further west, and shoppers can hit up craft and gift stores along the Sacramento River 8 miles southwest.

Access to nearby interstates and bike routes
Del Paso Heights is bordered by Interstate 80 to the north. Interstate 5 (also known as the West Side Freeway) sits about 5 miles west and leads to downtown Sacramento. Bike routes run along main thoroughfares like Grand and Altos Avenues and Marysville Boulevard, while Sacramento Regional Transit buses stop along Grand Avenue. Mercy San Juan Medical Center is about 9 miles northeast, while Sacramento International Airport sits 12 miles northwest.

Niche Review
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.

Niche Review
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.
