Historic homes within walking distance of Midtown Sacramento
Just next door to Midtown Sacramento, Newton Booth offers historic homes within walking distance of longstanding restaurants and coffee shops. Throughout the neighborhood, sidewalk-lined residential streets are shaded by mature sycamore and palm trees; on the west side, the Poverty Ridge Historic District is known for upscale manors built between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and elsewhere, smaller, simpler homes date from 1900 to 1940. Many homes have been converted into multi-unit rental properties, and since 2010, infills of densely packed rowhouses have become more common here.
In the face of this modern development, the Newton Booth Neighborhood Association actively organizes community get-togethers and advocates for area improvements, such as safety. Newton Booth sits at the busy junction of Route 50 and Interstate 80, bordered by SacRT light rail tracks. Local gathering spaces include the Midtown Church, the Ella K. McClatchy Library, and the California Stage Arts Center, a nonprofit regional theater company that stages plays and musicals.
Victorians with large staircases are available in Newton Booth.

Early 20th-century homes and modern infill developments
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Sacramento's upper-class residential development expanded out from downtown, and Newton Booth's westside enclave of Poverty Ridge became the city's wealthiest address. Today, the neighborhood's Poverty Ridge Historic District is still full of large Victorian-era, Prairie and Classical Revival homes built during this period on large lots, often set far back from the leafy streets. These properties seldom go on sale, but when they do, they can sell for $1 million to $2 million, depending on lot size and how well they’ve been maintained.
Throughout the rest of Newton Booth, two-to-three-bedroom Craftsman bungalows, Prairie and Tudor Revival-style homes built throughout the first half of the 20th century are more commonly for sale. These are generally set on smaller lots; some have garages accessible by back alleyways, but their residents mostly park along the street. Prices for these smaller, simpler houses range from $400,000 to $700,000, depending largely on size and age. Properties in similar styles that have been converted into duplexes and fourplexes can sell for between $700,000 and $1.2 million, depending on their number of rentable units. Infill developments from the 2010s and 2020s have added rowhouses with brick facades and prominent first-floor garages; these homes range from $550,000 to $950,000 based on size, which ranges from 1,300 to 2,200 square feet.

Local eateries and neighborhood bars on S Street
Though the neighborhood is primarily residential, local businesses and restaurants are found along S Street. Nearby eateries include Localis, an upscale contemporary American restaurant with a rotating menu. Temple Coffee Roasters roasts their own coffee beans, sourced from fair trade farms. Round Corner, also on S Street, is a staple neighborhood bar. “A good portion of our customers walk here,” says Daniel Delagnes, the owner. “Our pool tables are a big draw, and we are home to several local pool league teams.” For grocery shopping, the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op specializes in sustainable and specialty foods, and there's a Safeway just outside the neighborhood. In the same plaza as Safeway, Salt & Straw serves ice cream and other sweet treats, and Mendocino Farms offers sandwiches and salads made with ingredients from small-scale producers.

Annual Blocktober Fest, held in the fall
The Newton Booth Neighborhood Association plays an active role in shaping the neighborhood culture. Each fall, the association hosts an annual Blocktober Fest on U Street, with food trucks, live music and games. At their open monthly meetings, association members can address concerns, including growing sentiment that the city should build more highway barriers around Highway 50 to limit noise and promote pedestrian safety. In late 2022, a new mid-size music venue tentatively called 24R Theater was approved for construction. “The music venue is going to bring a lot more people to the area,” says Delagnes. “Our bar is going to get busier, and street parking is likely to get more difficult on show nights.” Construction began in 2023, with expected completion in 2025.

Connected to Sacramento bus and light rail lines
Newton Booth is located at the Intersection of Route 50 and Interstate 80, both of which travel the greater Sacramento area. City buses stop along 21st Street. The neighborhood's bordered by SacRT light rail tracks, and there's a station on 23rd Street; the Blue Line runs from Laguna to Del Paso Park, while the Gold Line runs from downtown to Folsom. The train tracks along 19th Street are being revitalized as part of the Valley Rail project; estimated for completion by 2027, this project will result in a passenger train that connects Sacramento with San Jose and Bakersfield. The Sutter Medical Center is less than a mile north of the neighborhood, and the Sacramento International Airport is 13 miles away.
The train tracks are a part of the new revitalization within the community.

A levee system diverts flooding from central Sacramento
Back in the 19th century, Newton Booth's Poverty Hill was where low-wage workers would shelter during floods of the Sacramento and American Rivers. The Sacramento River runs about 2 miles to the west, while the American River runs about 2 miles to the north. Since the early 1990s, Sacramento has been developing an extensive levee system that diverts excess water away from the city center; as a result, homes in Newton Booth are now better protected, though the neighborhood has seen some street flooding as recently as 2017. The Sacramento area as a whole is known to have poor air quality due to pollutants and wildfire smoke from surrounding regions. Locals can sign up for emergency alerts about natural disaster warnings through Sacramento County's website.
