Arden-Arcade suburb built around Howe Community Park

About 7 miles northeast of downtown Sacramento, suburban Fulton-El Camino sits within the unincorporated community of Arden-Arcade, centered on the large Howe Community Park. Midcentury ranch-style homes — sometimes updated and often attractive to investors — and a few apartment complexes surround the park; a handful of casual restaurants are found around the community's busy edges. The neighborhood receives an overall CAP Index Crime Score of 8 out of 10—with a high risk of Motor Vehicle Theft and Burglary—compared to the national average score of 4. Houses of worship here include Saint Philomene Catholic Church, whose large bell can be heard tolling throughout the neighborhood on Sunday mornings.

Midcentury ranch-style homes with a high level of renters

Midcentury ranch-style homes with vinyl siding and low-slung roofs are scattered throughout the neighborhood, often on compact, uniform lots with attached or detached one-car garages. Some homes sit on a quarter-acre, shaded by mature sycamore, pine and palm trees. Two- or three-bedroom homes tend to range from $250,000 to $475,000, depending on the home's condition. More than half of residents are renters, and fixer-uppers are particularly popular with investors. A small condo complex on the south side features 1970s poolside units for between $300,000 and $305,000. Many residential streets lack sidewalks, but residents can stroll along the side of the road.

The C-rated Aspire Alexander Twilight College Preparatory Academy is also located within the neighborhood, offering a charter school option for grades 6-12.

Getting downtown in Interstate 80

Interstate 80 can be accessed about a mile west, and leads 7 miles to downtown Sacramento. Sacramento Regional Transit bus stops and narrow bike lanes are found along major roads like Howe and Fulton Avenues, connecting locals with the greater Sacramento area. A general lack of sidewalks limits walkability. Kaiser Permanente Sacramento Medical Center is less than 2 miles east. Sacramento McClellan Airport is less than 5 miles north, while Sacramento International Airport is 16 miles away.

Walking trails and a fishing pond at Howe Community Park

At the neighborhood’s center, Howe Community Park is circled by a 1-mile walking path and features playgrounds, lighted tennis and sand volleyball courts, and an off-leash dog area. There's also a pond here, with fishing piers where locals can catch and release catfish and rainbow trout. Just across the street from Howe Park, as it's locally known, Santa Anita Park has a nine-hole disc golf course surrounded by mature willow trees. Cottage Park is about a mile east, with a community pool where locals can cool off during the area's hot summers.

Seasonal events held by the Fulton-El Camino Recreation and Parks District

The Howe Avenue Theater, located within Howe Community Park, hosts amateur plays and musicals a few times a year. “We host some larger events like a tree lighting on the first of December and a Halloween Festival the Saturday before Halloween,” Harder says. The annual Holiday Tree Lighting includes music, games, and complimentary coffee and cocoa, held just north of the neighborhood on Fulton Avenue. The Halloween Festival features a bounce house, various games and trunk-or-treating, where locals gather and hand out candy from the trunk of their car.
