Bear Creek East
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.

Nearby interstate, bumper-to-bumper traffic and direct flights
North Eldorado Street is one of the neighborhood’s main thoroughfares, leading 5 miles south to downtown Stockton. 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. Cabral station and travel 45 miles to Sacramento or 125 miles to Fresno. St. Joseph’s Medical Center, part of the Dignity Health system, is found about 5 miles south of Loch Lomond Park. Stockton’s own airport, Stockton Metropolitan 15 miles south, offers regional flights, while the larger Sacramento International Airport is 55 miles north.Custom sandwiches, fried rice and department store shopping
In the neighborhood's southwest, De Vinci’s Delicatessen & Catering has been a local favorite since 1979, offering 12 different combo meals, as well as custom sandwiches. Half a mile south of Loch Lomond Park, Pho Lucky Restaurant offers Vietnamese fare like pho noodle soup and fried rice dishes. At Lincoln Center mall about 2 miles south, shoppers can browse department stores like McCaulou’s and pick up groceries at Lion Supermarket.

Basketball, tennis, trail riding and golf
Two 5-acre greenspaces, Loch Lomond Park and Cortez Park, are within walking distance of residential streets. Loch Lomond is just south of Kennedy Elementary School and offers a basketball court, softball field and a playground; neighbors jog and walk their dogs on the surrounding sidewalks. Cortez Park, 2 miles east, has two tennis courts and horseshoes. The mostly flat, paved 8-mile Bear Creek Trail starts 3 miles north of the neighborhood, and nearby, the 97-acre Elkhorn Golf Club offers public tee times on its 18-hole course.Career tech education at Stockton Unified district schools
Students can attend Stockton Unified district schools, including Kennedy Elementary, which serves kindergarten through Grade 8 and earns a C-minus from Niche. At Cesar Chavez High, which Niche gives a B-minus, students interested in mechanical or chemical engineering jobs can join the Career Technical Education Pathways program to earn engineering certificates.

Musical festivities, crafts and sports
Bear Creek East residents can attend year-round events in downtown Stockton. From April to July, Main Street Market features live Latin and Reggae music, and local vendors sell handmade crafts. In August, the Weber Point Event Center, 6 miles south near McLeod Lake, hosts the Annual Jazz Festival, which features local and nationally known artists. Hockey fans can watch games at the Adventist Health Arena, while baseball fans can catch games at the Banner Island Ballpark next door.
