The Cottage Park neighborhood is a short drive to downtown Sacramento.
Walkable suburbia in Cottage Park
Centered on its namesake elementary school and park, Cottage Park’s midcentury homes and relatively low prices are major draws for families and first-time homebuyers. Though the neighborhood’s interior streets are more secluded from noisy roadways, you can still walk to commercial centers, including Costco and the weekly Arden-Arcade Certified Farmers’ Market. In addition to the walkability and convenience, commuters have a direct path to Downtown Sacramento, less than 10 miles away.
Midcentury homes at lower price points
Part of the Arden-Arcade area of east Sacramento, Cottage Park is popular among first-time homebuyers thanks to relatively lower housing costs and suburban charm, and it's less dense than some other nearby areas. “If you’re looking between Howe and Fulton avenues, that’s more condos and townhomes. To the east, it's more single-family, all at entry-level prices,” says Kaelee Cornell, a Sacramento native and real estate agent with Exp Realty. Ranch-style homes range from the lower $300,000s to the upper $500,000s. Exteriors have orange brick and earthy siding, and front lawns are slightly bigger than usual for this part of Sacramento. Backyards are often fenced and have mature trees, and some homes have room enough for a pool or a garden.
Homes sit on flat, grassy lawns with mature trees.

Within walking distance of shops, restaurants and a farmers market
The interior residential streets are pretty quiet, but major commercial corridors line Cottage Park's edges. "It’s definitely walkable, but you’d have to cross a busy street to get to the restaurants and shops," says Darcia Wilson , a local real estate agent at Moxie Realty Group with over a decade of experience. Locally owned businesses in the area include Flapjacks, a diner-style breakfast spot, and Elliott’s Natural Foods, a neighborhood staple for organic groceries since 1952. There’s a Costco across the street from Country Club Plaza, home to the Country Club Cinema movie theater. The Arden-Arcade Certified Farmers' Market is hosted year-round on Saturday mornings in the plaza’s parking lot. “My favorite produce stand is there,” says Wilson. “We love going in the spring and summer for fresh strawberries. One of the stands has lemon cucumber, which isn’t very common. Even though the market is pretty small, it has everything we need.”
Elliott's Natural Foods has served the community for decades.
