Avondale, Sacramento, CA
Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Avondale is a working-class neighborhood in southeast Sacramento, paired so often with Glen Elder that the two share a neighborhood association. The bones go back to a 1920s subdivision, and the housing reflects nearly a century of building: small older homes, postwar bungalows, and newer infill mixed block to block. It is a practical, affordable part of the city, with Fruitridge Road carrying the everyday retail and the 65th Street Expressway giving quick access up to Highway 50 and the light rail. The honest picture includes the things the neighborhood association works on: uneven upkeep, some absentee-owned property, and stretches that feel rougher than others. For buyers priced out of the central grid who want a freestanding home with a real yard and a short hop to downtown, Avondale is one of the more attainable doors in.
