Parkway showcases South Sacramento's suburban growth

In South Sacramento, Parkway is home to a sprawling community with urban and suburban sensibilities. The city of Sacramento became the state's capitol as well as the western terminus of the Pony Express and California's first railroad. Today, Sacramento is the locus of Central Valley's agricultural production, and has expanded its economic base to include tourism and various manufacturing industries, as well as the continued development of neighborhoods like Parkway. And proximity to major freeways and the downtown area gives Parkway residents access to the best of Sacramento.

Ranch styles with Spanish elements dominate the avenues

Developers in Parkway predominantly built single-family detached houses, as well as a few condominiums and mobile home parks. Quiet cul-de-sacs and winding avenues are lined with homes with designs from across the architectural spectrum, giving the broader city of Sacramento an eclectic and aesthetically pleasing visual palette. Developers built with designs and materials to withstand the region's high temperatures. Homes with Spanish stylistic influences are built with stucco walling and clay tile roofing, and often feature covered outdoor patios and verandas perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying the nice weather. Other home styles such as the California ranch style sit wide on their home lots, offering open floor plans so that homeowners can take advantage of every inch of living space. Striking visuals are present in the area's contemporary and traditional homes, each with a unique combination of design features. In most cases, Parkway houses have covered carports or multi-car garages. On average, a home in Parkway costs around $413,000, ranging from 840 to 2,900 square feet.

Residents can choose from Southern, Cajun and Mexican cuisine

Local and regional cafes and restaurants are scattered throughout Parkway. Locals can start with a hot coffee or a fresh cruller from Donut Heaven, which offers an assortment of specialty baked goods and beverages. For lunch or dinner, Stagecoach Restaurant serves Southern comfort food in an Old-West-themed dining room. Louisiana Heaven allows patrons to sample the flavors of Cajun country, and Cuco's Taqueria offers free drinks with any special order of their authentic Mexican fare.

Local shopping centers offer chain grocers and national wholesalers

Residents can head to the Southpointe Plaza shopping mall to grab some fresh meat and veggies at international chains like Seafood City. They can also swing by Valley Shopping Center to stock up on produce and other household essentials at regional chains like Food 4 Less. National warehouse stores like Costco and Sam's Club are also available along the Golden State Highway.

Sacramento City Unified School District serves area students

Residents are served by several area public schools, including Herman Leimbach Elementary, which receives a B-minus rating from Niche. Students can move on to intermediate and secondary schools, Samuel Jackman Middle School and Luther Burbank High School, both of which also receive a B-minus. The high school offers education and hands-on experience in various career paths like sustainable agriculture, media arts and social justice.

Neighborhood parks offer play space and walking trails

After school, locals can bring their kids to the playground at Mesa Grande Park. Or, they can head to the Franklin Boyce Community Park's, where open green fields allow for pick-up games of soccer. Residents can also go for a stroll or contribute to the community garden at Valley Hi Park.

Adventures at the Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town are nearby

Parkway is a stone's throw from many of Sacramento's world-class attractions, including the Sacramento Zoo, where exhibits and tours take visitors through the vital work done to preserve and advocate for endangered animal and plant life. And Fairytale Town is an amusement park dedicated to inspiring curiosity and creativity in Central Valley's children through its storybook-style exhibits.
