Rancho Cordova · Sacramento County · Market Report
A city along Highway 50 east of Sacramento with deep aerospace roots, major employers, and fast-growing new neighborhoods — here's how the market is moving.
Rancho Cordova runs along Highway 50 east of Sacramento and pairs a major employment base — rooted in the region's aerospace history at Aerojet and the former Mather Field — with rapid residential growth. Newer master-planned communities like Anatolia, Sunridge, and the developing Rio del Oro have reshaped the eastern side of the city.
Closer to the river, the American River Parkway and Hagan Community Park give the area a recreational anchor, while established neighborhoods around the original town core offer more moderate price points than the newer subdivisions.

Rancho Cordova sits on land that was part of a Mexican land grant and later vineyards and ranches along the American River. World War II brought Mather Field, and the postwar era brought Aerojet, whose rocket and aerospace work made the area a major employment center. Long an unincorporated community, Rancho Cordova became a city in 2003 and has since added fast-growing master-planned neighborhoods on its eastern side.
A large park with a lake, pool, miniature railroad, and access to the American River Parkway.
Miles of riverside trail and natural area along the city's northern edge.
Open space, a lake, and trails on the grounds of the former airfield.
A nearby state hatchery on the American River, popular during the fall salmon run.
Rancho Cordova mixes deep aerospace history and a strong job base with the American River Parkway and some of the region's fastest residential growth.
