3829 Aetna Springs Way, Sacramento

This home in the West Natomas area of Sacramento is just minutes from downtown. Built in 1999, it has 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, and has been on the market for 19 days. This home would be a great starter home for a new, growing family just getting into the market or possibly as an income property. It is listed at $317,000 which is on the low side of the pricing scale for similar sized homes currently for sale in the area. In February, a comparable home nearby sold for $295,000, so there may be a bit of wiggle room here.

This home was probably one of the first homes built in this part of Natomas known as Gateway West. The neighborhood is still going through some growing pains, but amenities are filtering in. It is within walking distance to Witter Ranch Elementary, completed in 2004, and a new Bel Air Supermarket on Arena Boulevard. You can even stand on your front lawn and watch as your future valedictorian strolls through the gates of his or her neighborhood school. For you sports fans, or you poor suckers who get dragged to Disney On Ice by your charming little bumpkins, Arco Arena is just on the other side of the I-5. The area continues to see restaurant pads, retail, and other commercial space go up, but there does seem to be an abundance of empty and brand spanking new store fronts just waiting for business tenants.

Overall, I think this home is a pretty good value. Once you get the keys, it wouldn't take much time, effort, or cold hard cash to make it your own.
