Retail paradise near Sacramento
Encina is a shopper's paradise located just five miles east of downtown Sacramento. “You have Howe ‘Bout Arden Shopping Center, which brings in a ton of people, the Pavilions with the upper-end shops,” says Cameron Freelove of Century 21 Select Real Estate, who has over half a decade of experience in the area. “Along Howe, Fulton, Fair Oaks and really anywhere in between, you have shopping, a spot for coffee or a restaurant.” Freelove believes the retail options have attracted a younger crowd to Encina. “A lot of buyers have been under 40 in my experience.” The median age in Encina is 34, with 30% of the population being under 18 years old. The youthful nature of the residents, mixed with the proximity to retail, makes Encina a very walkable neighborhood.

Condos and townhomes
With 83% of the population renting in Encina, it’s no surprise that condos and townhomes are popular in the neighborhood. Two—or three-bedroom units are available in the $250,000-$300,000 range and typically include access to a community clubhouse and pool. “While there are more multifamily homes in the neighborhood overall, the area near the schools has single-family homes, which is nice because kids can walk to school,” says Freelove. Single-family homes are mostly midcentury ranch-style builds. These are in the $365,000 to $525,000 ballpark. These areas have wide sidewalks for easy mobility and large lots with spacious backyards. These houses have attached garages, which is important because Encina has an 8 out of 10 CAP Crime Index score compared to the national average of 4. The area has high rates of motor vehicle theft.
