Popular suburban neighborhood for first-time home buyers
About 5 miles north of downtown Stockton, the suburb of Bear Creek East sits in California’s Central Valley, one of the largest agricultural regions in the state. “This is an established community, and a popular place in Stockton to live,” says Willie B. Jefferson, broker/owner of New City Realty, who’s been selling and managing properties here since 1998. “Families are drawn to the affordable home prices here, and the fact that the area offers USDA and first-time home buyer loans.” Most of the neighborhood’s 7,900 residents commute to the San Francisco Bay Area. “We don’t have a lot of environmental issues here like they do in Southern California, mainly because it’s so breezy; if something like smog were to show up, give it 20 minutes and it’ll be gone.”
Contemporary and modern ranch-style homes and bungalows
“Homeowners here can qualify for USDA housing loans since Stockton is an agricultural region,” says Jefferson, “which is a huge advantage for families because it’s a federally backed, zero-down program. And everything sells quick because prices are better here than in surrounding areas.” The neighborhood's single-family homes sit close together along sidewalk-lined streets, separated by fencing, their entryways cushioned by neatly trimmed shrubbery. Most homes were built between the 1950s and '70s, either L-shaped ranch-style with three bedrooms and two-car garages, or bungalows set on concrete slabs, with narrow front porches; both styles range from $300,000 to $450,000. Also here, Craftsman-style homes from the 1960s and '70s have up to six bedrooms, solar panels and three-car garages, and range from $500,000 to $600,000.

Interstate 5 sits 3 miles west, and travels to Sacramento roughly 45 miles north. “If you work a 9-to-5 job in San Francisco, you’d have to leave here by 6:30 because rush hour is bumper-to-bumper for several miles,” says Jefferson. San Joaquin Rapid Transit buses make stops along Lower Sacramento Road and Ponce De Leon Avenue to the west, and Amtrak trains depart from downtown Stockton's Robert J.
