Houses in the Oak Park community are primarily suburban single-family homes and townhouses. These residences come in various home models, architecture, and floor layouts. Most communities in the area do not have uniform designs as not one major developer built houses here unlike the more recent residential developments in the northern part of the city. This means that residences in Oak Park are primarily custom-built models with different features and amenities. The diversity also means that home prices are much more affordable in the area making it excellent for families looking to purchase a starter home in Sacramento.
