California State Route 99 runs along the eastern border, and U.S. Route 4 runs east-west in the community, linking it with downtown and other Stockton neighborhoods. The area’s residential streets are filled with sidewalks, and East Main Street has bike lanes. San Joaquin RTD buses make regular stops in and around the neighborhood. Robert J. Cabral Amtrak Station is a few miles north of the area. St. Joseph’s Medical Center is 3 miles northwest, and Stockton Metropolitan Airport is 7 miles south.

Noise can be an issue since the airport is nearby, and to fly overseas, Sacramento International Airport is a 60-mile drive north.Generational bungalows and ranch-style properties
Heisler says East Stockton is home to many generational homes, where residents pass their houses to their children and grandchildren. The wide, paved streets here are laid in a grid, with some speed bumps. Oak-tree-lined sidewalks pass wrought iron and chain link fences, and some streets have crosswalks. One to two-story duplexes mostly built between the 1940s and ‘60s dot the community, ranging in price from about $300,000 to $450,000. Remodeled early to mid-20th-century Craftsman bungalows are spread throughout the neighborhood, with stucco exteriors, tiny front porches and fenced-in yards with rose bushes. Prices roughly range between $200,000 and $350,000. Gathered near the community center, a mix of late 20th-century ranch-style homes and larger bungalows sit on larger lots with vinyl stone exteriors and short driveways leading up to two-car garages. Prices range from $350,000 to $450,000.Local Latin markets all over East Stockton
For groceries, neighbors can access several locally owned stores like La Tapatia Market which sells Mexican ingredients, baked goods and homemade carnitas. The Stockton Food Center sells grocery essentials, and is home to Los Titos Market, where shoppers can pick up savory burritos for lunch. Residents can have a steak dinner with fries at El Rancho Inn, and 3 miles north, Country Boys Drive In sells burgers and banana splits. For shopping, locals browse through gently used clothes and home goods at the Salvation Army Thrift Store and Donation Center near the neighborhood’s southwest corner. Waterloo Central Center, home to a handful of small businesses, is a 2-mile drive west.Cooling off at Sousa Pool and shooting hoops at Stribley
In the heart of the area, the nearly 4-acre Sousa Park features a tree-shaded playground, tons of open green space and the Sousa Pool, which is a go-to spot for neighbors in the summer. Stribley Park covers 19 acres of grassy terrain and includes the Stribley Community Center, where Heisler says local kids play indoor basketball and pickleball, and play catch at one of two baseball fields. The center also offers occasional art workshops, dance classes and access to a mini library. A community garden has rentable plots, where people grow vegetables, flowers and cacti. The Fair Oaks Public Library has daily story times for young children and offers prizes for students who complete a summer reading list.Science-based programs at Franklin High
The Stockton Unified School District serves the neighborhood. Kids can start at Martin Luther King Junior Elementary, which offers kindergarten through eighth grade and scores a C-minus on Niche. The B-minus-rated Franklin High implements the Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) program, where students work with their peers every month to design and complete sustainable building projects.Catching rides at the San Joaquin County Fair
Alternating between May and June, Stockton hosts the San Joaquin County Fair near downtown. East Stockton residents can check out carnival rides, eat some sweet treats and jam out to live music at the three-day event. On the weekends, folks can travel 4 miles north to shop for antiques, produce and artwork at the Stockton Open Air Mall and Flea Market. The area is also home to several different Christian and Catholic churches holding regular services throughout the week.Combating crime in East Stockton
