Northrup
Dining on Howe Ave.
There are plenty of eateries on Howe Avenue located on the neighborhood’s west border. Diners can choose between Mexican at Taqueria El Perrones, Asian Fusion at Boiling Avenue or head to Blue House Korean BBQ. Across Northrup, on the east end, is Namaste Sacramandu, which has Indo-Nepalese Fusion and Freshmedi Mediterranean & Afghan Cuisine. For groceries, locals can head just south of the neighborhood on Howe Avenue for the choice between major chains Safeway and Raley’s. Northrup has retail options like Marshalls and Ross and is just a couple of miles from the large mall at Arden Fair.

Fun at Swanston Park
Locals head to Swanston Park for plenty of fun in the sun. The 10-acre park has a playground for kids as well as tennis and basketball courts. During the warm summer months, children can cool down at the park’s splash pad. Not far is Sutter’s Landing Regional Park, right on the banks of the American River. This recreation area has a skatepark, biking and hiking trails and even a dog park so pets can get some exercise. For an indoor workout, locals can visit the 24-Hour Fitness off Fulton Avenue.

Greer Elementary and more
Kids in Northrup enter the San Juan Unified School District, beginning at the K-5 Greer Elementary. Greer holds a C-plus overall Niche grade and has an A mark in student diversity. Kids in Greer Elementary have plenty of before and after-school programs, including a summer STEM-focused program. For grades 6-12, students head to Encina Preparatory High School, which has a C rating on Niche. Sacramento Country Day School is a K-12 private option that has an A-plus rating on Niche.

Condos and ranchers
About 90% of residents in Northrup rent, so there are many apartments, townhomes and condos in the neighborhood. However, there are pockets of single-family homes located on quiet residential streets. Single-family homes are ranch-style builds from the 1960s and start near $400,000 and range up to over $700,000. “It’s become a very popular area with first-time homeowners,” says Tina Suter of House Real Estate, who has sold over 100 properties in the area. Houses have attached garages and wide sidewalks for dog walking and jogging. One-bedroom condos start at $200,000, and many have community pools and workout facilities.

Just minutes from 80
The neighborhood is just a couple of minutes from Interstate 80, which provides access to downtown for an easy commute. Locals can also commute to work in Roseville or Rockland or take day trips on I-80 to the Bay Area or Lake Tahoe. The Sacramento Regional Transit system has fixed bus routes that have frequent stops along Northrup Avenue, and the Sacramento International Airport is less than a half hour away.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
