A community-based neighborhood

About 4 miles from Midtown Sacramento is Tahoe Park South, a suburb known for its welcoming and inclusive environment. The HOA often hosts events such as scholarship fundraising and is dedicated to creating an engaging community for its neighbors. According to Mairin Haley, a lifelong Sacramento resident and Realtor of 4 years, "Tahoe Park is a very friendly and diverse place to live in — people say hi to their neighbors here and feel comfortable walking around." Haley adds, "Tahoe Park is also close to the freeway, which makes getting around to Midtown and Downtown easy, and residents here have access to the amenities in East Sacramento, a neighborhood next door." The neighborhood also comes with its namesake park, Tahoe Park. Homes start at $475,000 and go up to $700,000.

From bungalows to Craftsman

Most homes in Tahoe Park are what local Realtor and fourth-generation Sacramentan Tom Leonard describes as "World War II era housing," which are smaller and more compact. "Tahoe Park boomed in the 1940s, had issues in the 1980s and 1990s, but it's really taken off once again," Leonard says. "It's also due to the expansion of UC Davis Medical Center and the large number of millennials, who are the largest sector of home buyers at this time. You can walk or ride a bike to UCD in minutes. But in most cases, you can purchase a home for half of the price, maybe 30% to 40% less, depending on location." Leonard also adds that you can "purchase a solid home with a big yard here." Some styles include ranches, Craftsman and bungalows. Prices for homes start at $475,000 and go up to $700,000.

Lining up for Momo's Meat Market

According to Leonard, Tahoe Park South has a thriving food scene, including Michelin Plate Award winner Bacon & Butter. Since local restaurateur Billy Zoelin opened the eatery in 2014, the business has thrived due to unique brunch items like banana cream waffles. "It literally has a line out the door year around," Leonard says. "He has an excellent following, and the food is very creative and delicious." Another local favorite in the neighborhood is MoMo's Meat Market, which serves up authentic Southern barbeque. "If you don't get to MoMo's Meat Market on time daily, you for sure won't get exactly what you wanted," Leonard said. "They sell out very often and almost every time I am there." For groceries and other needs, residents can head to Your Family Grocery.
