A welcoming community

Located just southeast of the intersection of Interstate 5 and Interstate 80, Frates Ranch is a community where residents feel at home. “It’s the type of neighborhood where neighbors have known each other for years and go out of their way to make new people feel welcome,” says Abigail Soto of eXp Realty, who has listed dozens of properties in the neighborhood. “At one open house, the owners were telling me there was an email chain all the neighbors had where they would organize neighborhood events and yard sales.” There is no homeowner association, so all the events are organically planned by the residents. With easy access to major roadways, the five-mile drive into downtown Sacramento is easily manageable.

Ranch-style homes from the 80s

Homes in Frates Ranch are mostly tri-level or ranch-style builds from the 1980s in the $400,000 to $525,000 price range. Most houses are on close-together lots and feature modest yards. Properties have long driveways and attached multicar garages to allow for easy parking. Sidewalks are plentiful and shaded by mature trees, making for a comfortable walk to school for the neighborhood kids. Proximity to major roadways may not provide the headache it would seem. “The homes right up against the interstates will have some issues with noise,” says Soto. “But once you are one or two streets inside the neighborhood, it’s quiet, and you’d never know there are highways close by.”
