Lighthouse offers new construction on the banks of the Sacramento River
A common nickname for The Rivers master-planned community, West Sacramento’s Lighthouse neighborhood stands on what was once the Lighthouse Golf & Country Club. Development in the neighborhood began in the early 2000s, including the addition of several private parks and swimming pools, and new construction has continued into 2025. “There’s a good mix of housing, some more attainable and some higher-end luxury housing,” says Christopher Brown, a principal broker with NEXT Real Estate Group who specializes in new construction. Many of the larger custom builds are set along the banks of the Sacramento River, with easy access to riverfront bike trails. Only a few miles from downtown Sacramento, just across the water, Lighthouse’s empty lots are quickly filling in as it becomes one of West Sacramento’s most popular communities.
Downtown Sacramento is just moments away from Lighthouse.
Access to the river front is something cherished to people in and around Lighthouse.

Private community parks and pools, along with riverside bike trails
Developers designed the community with lots of green space and two unnamed private parks. “There’s a huge park that runs throughout,” Brown says. “It actually has remnants of the old golf course.” The larger of the two parks has large ponds and fountains surrounded by walking trails, as well as a playground and volleyball court. The smaller park has a spacious grassy lawn shaded by tall pine trees and is known to attract ducks, herons and other wildlife. Two pools, a lap pool and a regular family pool are located next to the clubhouse. In addition to private amenities, locals have easy access to dirt and paved trails that line the Sacramento River.

21st-century new traditional homes and custom new construction
The Rivers’ first homes finished in 2005, but plenty of new construction is still available as of spring 2025, including new traditional homes and condos. About 250 of the community’s homes are in gated areas, though all residents can access private amenities. Many properties have Spanish Revival-style elements like barrel-tile roofs, while others feature vertical siding and white gable trim. Two-bedroom condos and three- to five-bedroom homes on compact lots tend to range from $400,000 to $800,000, while more spacious five-bedroom homes with lots of customization can range from $900,000 to $1.5 million. Monthly HOA fees typically range from $300 to $350 and include maintenance of the community amenities.
Some homes may be at higher flood risk, though the levee system in West Sacramento and Sacramento generally limits that risk. Flood insurance is typically not required in this area.
The higher end luxury homes in Lighthouse are down by the river.
