Midcentury north Sacramento suburb with a walkable layout
Set between the American River and Interstate 80, Northgate is one of north Sacramento's smaller suburbs, but includes a prominent commercial corridor, community gardens and several schools. The neighborhood is bordered to the east by Northgate Boulevard, which is lined with casual restaurants, and to the west by Ninos Parkway, a walking trail connecting local parks and schools. Between these borders are small chapels like the Natomas Baptist Church and the mid- to late-20th-century homes north Sacramento is generally known for. Right next door is the desirable community of South Natomas, with slightly newer homes. “Northgate was here before it was even called South Natomas, but many people now consider it to be a part of South Natomas,” says Barbara Krieger, a Realtor associate with Re/Maxx Gold who’s been working in north Sacramento since 1999. “Northgate is more 1950s, and South Natomas is more 1979 and later.”

Mostly one-story homes on raised foundations
Development in Northgate began in the 1950s and continued until the early ‘80s. Split-level homes, bungalows and ranch-style homes often feature two-car garages and stucco or vinyl exteriors; some feature partial stone facades and barrel-tile roofs. Homes tend to be close-set with fenced-in front yards dotted with cypress trees or the odd oak tree. Prices range from $350,000 to $750,000 and mainly depend on how recently the home was renovated. Notably, most homes here were built on raised foundations to protect from flooding. This practice was abandoned by the end of the 20th century, after the Sacramento levees were raised and the local flood risk decreased.
Northgate is home to a variety of architecture and styles of homes.

Local parks connected by Ninos Parkway
Northgate's largest parks are adjacent to local schools. Stauch School Park is next to its namesake elementary school, with playgrounds, large grass fields and basketball courts. Ninos Park has playgrounds and a community garden with rentable plots, and is connected to Rio Tierra Junior High via the Ninos Parkway, a 1-mile paved walking trail. In 2023, the Natomas Garden & Arts Collective received grant funding to create a quarter-acre pollinator habitat on the Ninos Parkway; dubbed the “Grassland Garden,” this collection of native California grasses attracts monarch butterflies and other wildlife. Northgate Park, located just outside the neighborhood, has large playgrounds and multi-use sports fields.

Casual restaurants on Northgate Boulevard
Northgate Boulevard is the area's main commercial drag, lined with chain grocery stores like Foods Co and local options like Shan Market. “It sees a lot of business,” explains Nicki Kalteis, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker. “There’s a good mix of commercial buildings and homes here.” Kiki’s Chicken Place is a local Sacramento-based chain specializing in fried chicken, and about a mile away, Anthony’s Italian Cuisine is a casual, family-run restaurant serving homemade recipes. Locally owned businesses get a lot of community support; for instance, during peak hours, the House Bling Bling Car Wash can have a line around the block. The Promenade at Sacramento Gateway and the Natomas Marketplace are two open-air malls less than 3 miles away, each with national retailers like Nordstrom Rack and Walmart.
