The neighborhood, honestly
- The stock: predominantly 60s-70s ranches — original-condition homes need the era's full inspection sweep (galvanized plumbing, panels, original roofs), and remodeled comps price meaningfully above them.
- The anchor: Old Meadows Park and the central location — the Civic Arts Plaza corridor, The Oaks mall, and the 101 minutes away.
- The lots: flat and usable — pool- and ADU-feasible in many cases, which the hillside tiers can't always say.
- Schools: CVUSD central-city assignments — verify per address with the district.
