Why Live in Oroville East

Oroville East, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, is approximately 30 miles south of Chico. This neighborhood features a mix of manufactured and single-family homes, primarily one-story midcentury ranch styles, with some contemporary homes built in the early 2000s. Residents benefit from more affordable real estate compared to the state average, with single-family homes ranging from $250,000 to over $700,000 and manufactured homes priced between $75,000 and $450,000. The area is served by Ophir Elementary, Nelson Avenue Middle School, and Las Plumas High School, all of which have above-average ratings. Oroville East is divided by state Route 162, connecting to state Route 70 and Chico, with a 45-minute commute during rush hours. The Oroville Municipal Airport is 10 miles west, and Sacramento is about 75 miles south. Local attractions include the Gold Country Casino, offering a steakhouse, live music, and comedy shows. Dining options in nearby downtown Oroville feature Vallarta Grill Restaurant, Tong Fong Low, and The Boss Burger. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the Loafer Creek Recreation Area, Lake Oroville State Recreation Area, and salmon fishing on the Sacramento River. Annual events such as the Snow Goose Festival, Arbor Day Festival, and Feather Fiesta Days add to the community spirit. However, the area faces a significant wildfire risk, as evidenced by the Thomson Fire in July 2024, which has impacted home insurance costs. Despite this, Oroville East remains a desirable location for those seeking a rural lifestyle with access to various attractions and natural beauty.
