Rosemont / Tahoe Park areas? (Sacramento, Stockton: hardwood floors, renting, new house)

[rdane1010]

I'm interested in maybe moving somewhere near the Rosemont or Tahoe park areas and am wondering if these are decent areas. I am a single male in my 20's and will be going to Sac State at least part time, I'd like to live in a newer house or duplex if possible and I'm seeing some listings in this area that look like newer houses than in the areas closer to downtown and are still pretty cheap overall. Any input or names of other areas nearby where I should look would be appreciated.

Are there new houses being built in Rosemont???

Tahoe Park is okay/nice - but Rosemont? Nahhhhhhh you are in your 20's I wouldn't advise that area...

Have you tried Campus Commons or River Park (it's older though)

Is there a reason you want newer? Most nice places nearer Sac State are older tudor homes or 1950s style houses

Newer stuff are (mostly) out in the suburbs

Thanks for the advice.. well I want like a decent sized garage and back yard area.. I like having a little space and it seems the older houses are smaller so thats the main reason.

By newer I mean it could have been built even in the 80's late 70's... downtown there are some really old houses from who knows when but I just mean the more modern style of homes but not the kind of tacky 70's architecture

So you are buying? What is your price range?

Most of Tahoe Park is WWI-WWII era suburbs, so mostly older homes with (maybe) a detached garage. Rosemont is newer, more 1970s-1980s and outside of the Sacramento city limits. I don't see too many houses from that era I don't consider tacky, and like older houses, so maybe I'm not the best judge of such things.

And (in my opinion) Rosemont is bedraggled and run down...not really a place I would want to live.

thanks for the advice.. I am going to be renting not buying

Rosemont was built in the 60's and early 70's. Like Tahoe Park, you can find some homes that have been fixed up and maintained well and a lot of homes that haven't been updated since they were built.

The homes are going to be bigger in Rosemont than Tahoe Park.

You might have better luck in College Greens. Its closer to CSUS, so you will find more people your age, but like Rosemont, you can find bigger homes on bigger lots than say Tahoe Park.

Tohoe Park are older homes (1940's-1950's) which adds to their charm. Rosemont has different areas that have been developed from decades ago to more recently. They are both close to Highway 50. MOD CUT

I live in Tahoe Park I am younger, however Tahoe Park is not a frat community at the same time there are more and more power singles moving into the neighborhood. The homes are from the 1930's. It was and is primarily an old Irish neighborhood with some original owners still living in the community. It has really nice older craftman houses 2-3 bedroom homes almost all of them have hardwood floors and large backyards and garages. We also have a great neighborhood association, oh and did I mention our very own park with great shade trees, a track, soccer field, baseball field and swimming pool in the summer? Tahoe Park is an undiscovered jewel of Sacramento .. If you do decide to moved to Tahoe Park I should warn you that there are areas that people assume are Tahoe Park but aren't they are a little on the shady side I would stick what is called "Tahoe Park Proper" NOT Tahoe Park East, West or South. Basically stay away from 14th st., 65th st., and Stockton Blvd. Ugh.. If you want quick and easy access to the freeway you can't get closer than 59th street.. you can ride your bike straight to the college down 59th all the way to the Campus bike trail .. it's a 10 min bike ride max. Its an awesome neighborhood ! : D let me know if you have any questions! Best
