Urban neighborhood near California Delta waterways
Set about 50 miles south of Sacramento in California’s Central Valley, Downtown Stockton sits on the San Joaquin River, part of the California Delta. This waterside community offers plenty of outdoor activities and ethnic eateries. Public boat launches and a marina are accessible here, and historic homes from the first half of the 20th century line residential streets laid out in a grid. Many of the neighborhood’s nearly 18,000 residents work in education or the health care industry, and convenient transportation options make it easy to travel the city and beyond. Popular events at cultural venues and sporting arenas bring locals together throughout the year.
Bungalows and Queen Anne-style homes along sidewalk-lined streets
The neighborhood streets are laid out on a grid pattern, offering a variety of homes, most of which are well-maintained. “Residents take great pride in ownership,” says Tristan Escove, a local real estate agent who grew up in Stockton. “There are potentially beautiful properties from Victorian to Craftsman to colonial.” Most were built between 1900 and 1940, and have been remodeled with new flooring and roofing; some front and backyards are enclosed with metal or wooden fencing. Three-bedroom Craftsman-style and bungalows with stucco or vinyl siding range from $200,000 to $350,000, while Queen Anne-styles with pitched roofs and decorative towers start around $550,000.

Brussel sprout tacos, burgers and sandwiches at local restaurants
“The cuisine is the best thing about the city of Stockton,” says Escove, noting the ethnic options here. “You’ll find fantastic, diverse dining from Indian to Japanese that rivals the best in San Francisco and the entire Bay Area.” City officials have even devoted all of January to celebrating Stockton’s restaurants with weekly giveaways. A local favorite since 2016, Cast Iron Trading Co. offers brussel sprout tacos and burgers with caramelized onions, and live music twice a week. Family-owned Genova Bakery, an old-world Italian deli, is the place to go for made-to-order sandwiches, while shops at the Courthouse Plaza include Main Street Gifts, which offers home decor and seasonal items, and shoppers can pick up groceries at Food 4 Less.

Picnics, boating and kayaking
Greenspaces sit within a mile of each other downtown, including Eden Park, where families picnic under the shade of mature oak and pine trees, and kids can get some exercise on the playground. While dog walkers hit up Constitution Park to the east, the real draw for recreation is the California Delta waterways in the neighborhood’s southern end. Here, boaters and kayakers spend all day on the water, angling for bass and rainbow trout, or sunbathing with a cool drink in their hand. Residents can also rent boats from the Stockton Downtown Marina.

Cultural hotspots and event center entertainment
Stockton’s downtown Main Street Market pops up from April to July, where music lovers dance to Latin and Reggae bands and local vendors sell hand-made crafts; food trucks are also on-site here. Classic movies, tribute band concerts and ballets like the Nutcracker grace the historic, 2,000-seat Bob Hope Theatre downtown. While yacht club members enjoy cruising the San Joaquin River, others go to the Adventist Health Arena for hockey games and concerts, or catch a Stockton Ports baseball game at the Banner Island Ballpark next door.

Downtown Stockton uses energy-efficient public transportation.
Nearby interstate, airport and public buses
Many of Downtown Stockton’s restaurants sit along Hunter Street and Weber Avenue, while shops line Main Street near the Bob Hope Theatre. Residents can travel the roughly 50 miles north to Sacramento via Interstate 5, and several San Joaquin Rapid Transit bus stops sit just north of the Banner Island Ballpark. Amtrak trains carry passengers further north and south from the Robert J. Cabral station about a mile east; sidewalks line most residential streets. "Stockton also has its own airport, Stockton Metropolitan, which offers more affordable flights through Allegiant Airlines," says Kinzi Alves, an experienced Realtor with California Elite Realty who works in the area, and the Dignity Health St. Joseph’s Medical Center is 1 mile north.
Higher violent crime rate than the national average and homelessness solutions
Downtown Stockton’s CAP Index Crime Score is 7 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4, and according to local news source CBS13, San Joaquin County has the highest violent crime rate in California, with Stockton at the epicenter. Current county supervisor Tom Patti says he’s adding more satellite police stations throughout the city and working on creating jobs to deter crime. “Downtown Stockton has a prevalent homelessness issue,” says Escove, and city officials are implementing prevention strategies like Rapid Rehousing, providing short-term rental assistance and case management services.
