Real Estate Finds in Fair Oaks

Remember a time when there were no homes on the market that came even close to under $200,000 for a three bedrooms? I was meeting with a friend yesterday and she mentioned that on one of her walks she noticed "very pretty homes" (her words, not mine) around Fair Oaks, where she and her husband intend to buy a home someday. So I decided to look it up.

And here are some great real estate finds in the area for under $200,000.

Fair Oaks in the zip code 95628 has older established neighborhoods with homes approximately thirty years old. Many of these homes have been occupied by one or two owners, and bought new. Its proximity to highways 50 and 80 make it a good central location with plenty of businesses nearby. If you can tolerate the perpetual (it seems) construction on Hazel, you might find some real jewels in the area. Take a drive. Or better, a walk. I love looking at homes on a walk; don't you?
