Welcome to the Gardenland / Northgate Community!

     The Gardenland and Northgate neighborhoods were established during the 1920's when agriculture and the railroad were the economic foundation of the Sacramento area. Residents of these neighborhoods were drawn to the area for its wide-open beauty and the variety of its landscape. Farming opportunities in the vast expanses of tomato, sugar beet, and rice fields in the greater Natomas area and employment in the nearby railroad maintenance yards also made these neighborhoods desirable locations to settle.

     The Gardenland and Northgate neighborhoods continue to offer a peaceful alternative to the hustle and bustle of city and suburban life in a natural setting comprised of large residential lots. A very large and close-knit core of residents whose families have lived in the area for many generations enhances life in the neighborhoods. This vanguard of residents maintains a lively social atmosphere in the neighborhoods and an ongoing commitment and dedication to the community.
