Relaxed suburban living in Sacramento

Gateway West is a planned community where quiet, residential streets weave around a collection of green spaces. “The parks are huge in Sacramento and Gateway West is surrounded by nice shopping and restaurants,” says Mark McDonough, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker who has sold homes in Sacramento for over eight years. Located just 6 miles north of Downtown Sacramento, the community offers comfortable suburban living with easy access to the Market West shopping center, major thoroughfares and the Sacramento International Airport.

Contemporary Spanish-style homes

Towering conifers and palm trees shade Gateway West’s wide sidewalk-lined streets. New traditional homes built throughout the early 2000s embrace elements of Spanish design with stucco exteriors and tiled roofs. Most homes feature attached garages, wide driveways and modest lots with room for a small patio or fenced-in yard. Prices range from about $430,000 for a three-bedroom home up to $845,000 for a spacious five-bedroom home. According to the CAP Index, the community has an overall Crime Score of 3.

Community parks and recreation on the Sacramento River

Residents can walk to several parks in Gateway West. “There’s a park every five minutes,” McDonough says. As its name suggests, Hummingbird Park features a hummingbird garden where locals can observe nature. Those looking for more active recreation can head to Witter Ranch Park, which has a ballfield, two soccer fields, two volleyball courts and a playground for kids to explore. Bikers, walkers and runners can peruse the paved paths at Peregrine Park, which also features a full-size basketball court. San Juan Reservoir Park has several horseshoe pits and is the largest green space in the area, with 34 acres of land that double as a natural detention basin. Residents are also less than a mile from the Sacramento River, where there are plenty of water recreation and fishing opportunities.

Most of the local businesses are parts of chains or franchises, but they are of good quality for the most part in terms of products and availability. There is a large variety of businesses in the area, which allows me and my family to get what we need fairly easily.
