Northpointe
New traditional homes from the 1980s and early ‘90s
Northpointe's ranch-style and new traditional Craftsman-style homes date to the 1980s and early ‘90s, and sit close together along wide, sidewalk-lined streets. These three- and four-bedroom homes share features like multiple roof gables, wide driveways and prominent two-car garages. Yards tend to be either landscaped with gravel or are dotted with oak or cottonwood trees. Ashlynn Fresques, a sales associate for Coldwell Banker who’s been selling in the area for about three years, says homes in Northpointe are cheaper than those in downtown Sacramento. Homes in both neighborhoods range from about 1,200 to 2,600 square feet, but while prices in the city’s center range from $690,000 to around $1 million, in Northpointe they go for $420,000 to $590,000.

Two school districts, one sports academy at Grant Union High School
Children in Northpointe can attend schools within two districts. Robla Elementary is part of the Robla Elementary School District, and earns a B-minus from Niche. Twin Rivers Unified district schools include the B-minus-rated Norwood Junior High and the B-rated Grant Union High; the latter has a Health Sports Academy with pathways for sports medicine and business entrepreneurship. The B-rated Futures High is a local charter school serving Grades 7 through 12. California State University Sacramento, also known as Sac State, is near downtown.

Nearby interstates, public buses and bike lanes
Interstate 80 runs about 2 miles south, while Interstate 5 is roughly 5 miles west. Kelton Way, Sully Street and Main Avenue, which leads to downtown, are the neighborhood’s main thoroughfares. Most residents rely on their cars to run errands, though Sacramento Regional Transit buses and light rail trains travel the neighborhood, and bike lanes along Northpointe’s perimeter offer another way downtown. Aziz says most area hospitals are about 15 minutes east, including Mercy San Juan Medical Center. Sacramento International Airport is about 9 miles northwest.Space for pick-up games and skating
The neighborhood's roughly 2-acre North Pointe Park is surrounded by homes, and offers a kids’ playground and some greenspace, as well as picnic tables shaded by pine and oak trees. About a mile southeast, 10-acre Robla Community Park includes two soccer pitches, a skate park and shaded swing sets. The 265-acre Hansen Ranch Park Site, about 3 miles northwest, protects native wildlife and plant species and has a network of dirt-packed hiking trails.

Tex-Mex fare near a grocer and locally owned businesses
The closest businesses are found about a mile south. There are several fast-food chains, and in the Norwood Center, family-owned Taqueria Zapotlanejo serves traditional Tex-Mex fare for lunch and dinner. Fresques says the local Viva Supermarket is where residents from Northpointe and nearby neighborhoods shop for groceries. A mile southeast of the neighborhood, family-owned deli Bing’s Market has been a local favorite for 64 years, offering a sandwich counter and an on-site butcher. The Promenade at Sacramento Gateway is an outdoor mall roughly 4 miles southwest, with big-box stores like Target, and national retailers like Old Navy.

Huge rock festival at Discovery Park
During the second week of October, crowds flock to 302-acre Discovery Park, about 7 miles southwest of the neighborhood, for the annual Aftershock Festival. For four days, festivalgoers can listen to over 130 nationally and internationally known rock bands across five stages, and enjoy food and cocktails from local vendors. At night, lanterns strung above the stages strobe in rhythm to the beats, while body surfers make their way through hordes of screaming fans.
