Gardenland Home for Rent

Gardenland, a neighborhood in northern Sacramento, is often referred to as South Natomas. This area, once an agricultural hub, features ranch-style homes with a mix of tile roofs and Spanish stucco or shingles and siding. Many homes are partial renovations from the 1960s, with close-together lots that include small front yards and fenced backyards. Gardenland is known for its strong sense of community, supported by the Gardenland Northgate Community Association, which sponsors local children and sports teams. The neighborhood is conveniently located about 3 miles from downtown Sacramento, with easy access to public transportation via Sacramento Regional Transit and the light rail’s Blue Line. Northgate Boulevard, running along the western side, is a hub for small businesses, including popular Mexican restaurants like El Pollo Loco and Tacos La Piedad, and the local favorite, La Mini Birria. Gardenland Park, centrally located, features basketball courts, a splash pad, and a walking trail that connects to Discovery Park. This 300-acre park along the American River offers hiking, camping, and fishing, and hosts music festivals such as Sol Blume and Aftershock. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, providing a low crime risk area for residents.
