Living in Land Park

Land Park is Sacramento's most family-celebrated neighborhood — a park-centered community in South Sacramento where William Land Park provides an extraordinary 166-acre anchor with the Sacramento Zoo, Fairy Tale Town, Freeport Park golf course, a playground, picnic areas, and walking loops that fill with families, joggers, and strollers year-round.

The neighborhood's housing stock is exceptionally charming — Period Revival homes from the 1920s–1940s on curving streets lined with mature trees. The canopy in Land Park is among the densest in the city, and walking the residential streets feels like moving through a green tunnel. This is what "City of Trees" looks like at its finest.

Freeport Boulevard is the neighborhood's commercial spine — a walkable strip with the legendary Freeport Bakery (a Sacramento institution since 1955), local restaurants, coffee shops, and a neighborhood market. The 21st Amendment pub and several neighborhood restaurants make Freeport a pleasant evening destination for locals.

Land Park is bordered by Curtis Park to the north, Pocket/Greenhaven to the south, and the Sacramento River to the west. The American River Parkway bike trail system connects through to the broader network. For Sacramento families, Land Park represents the aspirational neighborhood — safe, leafy, park-centered, and rich with character.
