Sacramento-area suburb near an interstate and local businesses
Set about 8 miles north of Downtown Sacramento, the suburb of Oak Knoll is bordered by Interstate 80 to the north and features a mix of residential streets and businesses. “Housing price points are what drive people to this area,” says Mark McDonough, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who’s been selling in the area for 11 years. “Especially if they’re looking for single-family, ranch-style homes between $350,000 and $500,000.” Green spaces and a community center here offer recreational and wellness activities, and shops and restaurants sit just beyond the neighborhood.
Ranch-style homes and bungalows
Oak Knoll has a mix of housing styles. Minimal traditional ranch-style homes and bungalows from the early 1960s to mid-’90s are set along narrow streets, with some new infill construction mixed in as well. Separated by chain-link or wooden, shadow box fences, these three-to-four-bedroom houses share common features like side- or cross-gabled roofs, shaded front porches and driveways leading to two-car garages; yards are large enough for mature shrubs and oak or palm trees. Depending on the square footage and year built, prices range from $350,000 to $500,000. Valley Vista, the neighborhood’s newest subdivision, features new traditional Craftsman-style homes with one-car garages and manicured lawns, starting at $465,000. Four- to eight-bedroom duplexes sold as potential rental properties range from $650,000 to $750,000.

Celebration of the arts at The Red Museum
Sacramento offers monthly events and activities. Every September, The Red Museum, an event venue about 5 miles from Oak Knoll, teams with the city’s Capital Dance Project to host Behind the Barre. This two-night festival features performances by over 30 local artists, professional ballet dancers, choreographers and musicians, as well as food trucks and a makers’ market of handcrafted goods.
