Suburban neighborhood with lower housing prices
About 7 miles southeast of Downtown Sacramento, the suburb of Tallac Village, named after Mount Tallac near Lake Tahoe, stretches roughly 20 blocks and is bordered by major thoroughfares. “It's an older, working-class neighborhood that, to me, is underrated,” says Jon Nastro, broker with Keller Williams Realty, Inc., who grew up in Sacramento and has been selling for 37 years. “People don’t realize how nice of a community it is, especially considering the housing price points. You can easily hop on the freeway to access all of the city, and places like schools and grocery stores are within walking distance for some.”

Oysters on the half shell at The Kitchen Restaurant
Restaurants are located outside of the neighborhood. Most follow Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork philosophy, adding fresh, locally sourced ingredients to their cuisine, such as The Kitchen Restaurant near downtown. As a MICHELIN star winner and semi-finalist for the James Beard Outstanding Restaurant Award, this family-owned establishment has been serving six-course dinners since 1991. Cafe Bernardo in Midtown offers a variety of breakfast options, from bacon and avocado omelets to pumpkin spice pancakes, along with sandwiches and burgers for lunch and dinner. “Mom and pop eateries sit to the west along Stockton Boulevard,” says Nastro. “We call this area ‘Little Saigon’ for all the great pho dishes offered.”
Grocery options include Bel Air in the neighborhood’s southern end, plus Foods Company inside the Stockridge Plaza shopping center; retailers like Ross Dress for Less are also located here. Specialty shops, boutiques and more restaurants are located downtown.

Modestly priced ranch-style homes
Sidewalk-lined streets are dotted with ranch-style homes from the 1950s. Most of these feature brick or lap siding, shaded front walkways and up to four bedrooms. Many homes come with a narrow driveway that leads to a one-car garage or carport. Many residents park additional vehicles on the street. Home sizes vary from between 840 square feet to nearly 2,000 square feet, with prices ranging from $310,000 to $520,000. “Investment companies come in to renovate some of the older homes here,” says Nastro. “Updates include new kitchens, bathrooms and laminate flooring. Contractors actually live either in Tallac Village or nearby, so residents share the street with construction trucks.”
