VIEW AT WEST LA LOMA

Imagine! If you work in the downtown region of Sacramento, you can board an east-bound Light Rail Train headed for the City of Rancho Cordova, and be at the Mather Field Station in about 30 minutes. Then, after a healthy walk of one mile or less, you can be home in time for the kids soccer game.

Or, if you prefer driving, you can drive east on Highway 50, headed for Folsom Lake and Lake Tahoe, and be home in about 20 minutes.

Or, if you are an outdoor enthusiast, you can ride your ten-speed over the paved trail of the internationally acclaimed American River Parkway, and be at your home after a ride of about 15 very traffic-free miles. It is possible to ride a bicycle on city streets from your home all the way to Sunrise Blvd. without crossing a major thoroughfare.

Or, and this is even better – if you’re one of the 45,000 or so people who work in Ranch Cordova, you can even walk home! You would at least save a bundle in transportation costs. Maybe even enough to pay the mortgage!

Where is this home, you might wonder? It’s in the Cordova Meadows neighborhood of Rancho Cordova. Bordered roughly by Dawes Avenue to the east, Folsom Boulevard to the south, Rod Beaudry Drive to the west, and River Bend Park (formerly Goethe Park) and the American River Parkway to the north, Cordova Meadows is convenient, secluded, and established! The perfect place to call home.

The Cordova Meadows subdivision first came into being in 1958 when land that was once owned by the John Studarus family was developed into new homes built to accommodate an expanding professional workforce associated with Aerojet General, Douglas Aircraft, and Mather Air Force Base. At that time, Rancho Cordova was at the center of an active aerospace and defense industry in Northern California. As the community grew, Cordova Meadows grew, with newer and bigger homes being added in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. While most homes in the Meadows are “ranch-style” or "contemporary" tract homes, there are some custom homes built along the Parkway. At today’s prices, these homes are a great value. Homes in this neighborhood range between 1,100 and 2,200 square feet, and the average price per square foot was $155 in May, 2009. Your monthly payment would probably be under $1,000.
