Northlake has classic suburban living in North Natomas
Northlake is a new master-planned community in North Natomas, Sacramento. Centering around the association’s lake, Northlake has seven subdivisions with single-family homes, amenities such as a clubhouse and a pool and walking paths for residents to walk around the water and the community. “Northlake is a little tucked away from the bustle of downtown, yet it’s still super close to the freeways and the airport,” says Dennis Elliott, a Realtor at KW Sac Metro with almost 10 years of experience. “If you have a waterfront property, it could substantially increase the value of your home. Houses with water views are very sought after.” The newly opened Northlake TK-8 School is right in the neighborhood, and shopping and dining options are about 5 miles away along Del Paso Road. The area’s CAP Index crime score is 1 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.
The pool at Northlake’s clubhouse is a popular place to cool off in the summer.

Single-family subdivision homes in a North Natomas community
With more than half of the community yet to be developed, Northlake will have seven subdivisions. Centered around the concept of lakeside living, properties here are either steps away from the lake or have direct views of the water. Comprised of single-family homes with New Traditional or ranch-style architecture, houses here, either newly constructed or built in the past few years, typically sell between $600,000 and $900,000. Common design elements include brick and stone facades, stucco exteriors and red-tiled roofs. “The area is close to Beale Air Force Base, so there’s a good number of homeowners who are veterans and have VA loans,” Elliott says. “The important thing is that once they sell their homes, anyone can assume a VA loan. It’s a huge deal because this is the opportunity for you to assume a VA loan with a much lower interest rate.”
