Suburban living in North Sacramento, 8 miles from downtown
West Del Paso Heights, about 8 miles north of downtown Sacramento, is one of many relatively affordable suburbs in North Sacramento with access to bike trails, well-tended parks and Interstate 80 just north. West Del Paso Heights locals frequent popular takeout restaurants in the main Del Paso Heights neighborhood and enjoy community events organized by the Del Paso Heights Community Association. Only the Sacramento Northern Bikeway trail separates the two as the defining line between neighborhoods. West Del Paso Heights further differentiates itself with many pocket parks and slightly larger lots. “West Del Paso Heights and Del Paso Heights are like one big community. If you were to talk to someone in Del Paso and ask where they live, they could easily say West Del Paso Heights," says Ashlynn Fresques, a sales associate with Coldwell Banker. The area has a diverse range of religious organizations, including Mount Calvary Baptist Church, the Zion Church in Jesus Christ and the Masjid Millati Ibrahim Islamic Center.
Midcentury investment properties and 21st century infill developments
Housing inventory includes ranch-style homes and cottages from the 1940s and ‘50s, some of which attract investors for renovation opportunities. In addition to midcentury properties, some minimalist bungalows with bay windows and prominent garages were added in the ‘80s and ‘90s. In the early 2000s and 2010s, more infill developments brought multi-story new traditional homes with gable trim and small, covered front porches. Prices for single-family homes with between two and four bedrooms range from $200,000 to $550,000, depending on the age and condition of the house. "Living in West Del Paso Heights, the price ranges are more affordable than downtown Sacramento, and you still have close access to the freeway," Fresques says. Many West Del Paso Heights homes feature small manicured front lawns enclosed by wrought iron fencing dotted with palm and oak trees. Some duplexes from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s are available, featuring low-slung roofs and attached two-car garages. Depending on the condition and rental potential, these properties range from $330,000 to $600,000.

There is not a lot of availability of nutritional food in the area. Most food stores are large markets. The stores have a lot of variety, but the quality of the services such as beauty and cosmetics may not be so good. Popular stores are mostly the supermarkets and they outshine smaller stores.

There are very few people that take care of their homes. There are a few friendly people in the neighborhood, but not everybody is nice.
