Area Guide

Curtis Park Sacramento, CA

A quaint community minutes from Downtown Sacramento

Park-Like • Great Location • Diverse

Curtis Park is one of Sacramento's most peaceful and charming neighborhoods, where tree-lined streets and a slower pace make it easy to forget you're just minutes from Downtown. The Sierra 2 Center for the Arts and Community serves as a cultural hub, hosting everything from performing arts to community events throughout the year. Grab groceries on foot, stop at one of the many nearby cafes, and still have time to enjoy William Land Regional Park, which borders the neighborhood and offers wide open green space, a golf course, and leisurely walking paths.

Renters here have solid options, from craftsman bungalows and classic ranch-style homes to smaller apartment communities tucked along residential streets. The architecture leans historic, giving the area a character that newer developments rarely match. Sacramento City College and Sacramento State are both a short drive away, and the 39th Street light rail station keeps Downtown and Midtown within easy reach.

Great neighborhood to live in, probably the most interesting in Sacramento. You do have to be willing to send your kids to private school, the local elementary is one of the worst in California.

Curtis Park is a wonderful neighborhood with lots of nice people. The houses are mostly very old with gorgeous architecture. The community is for the most part welcoming, although, it is unfortunately not very diverse.

Having lived my whole life in Curtis Park, I can attest to the fact that Curtis Park is an excellent place to grow up. The combination of quiet streets, sidewalks, and accessible parks creates a feeling of security, while the older houses and remarkable foliage make it a uniquely beautiful neighborhood whose quaintness epitomizes the experience of living there.
