Neighborhood Spotlight: Hollywood Park


Located just blocks south of Sacramento City College near William Land Park, is a neighborhood called Hollywood Park. Sacramento Magazine named Hollywood Park one of the top ten "Best Kept Secret" neighborhoods. Hollywood Park is bordered by Sutterville Road to the north, Fruitridge Road to the south, 24th Street to the east, and Freeport Blvd to the west.

While there is no official "park" in this neighborhood as its name would suggest, there are three schools with playgrounds / yards that all form a large parklike centerpiece of the neighborhood. The area has a classic neighborhood feel with tree lined streets, and is close in proximity to local shopping centers, and Hollywood Hardware!

Homes were generally built in the 1940's and 1950's, and are 2 and 3 bedroom ranch homes. Hollywood park is a short walk to William Land Park and is a more affordable alternative to nearby Land Park. Many homes still have their classic, original charm - featuring distinctive built-ins, hardwood flooring, original cabinetry and tile, wood-burning fireplaces, decorative mantels, and detached garages. They generally have good-sized backyards...some with swimming pools. Homes in this area are generally selling in the range of $200,000 - $325,000, based on a wide variety of property condition and square footage.
