Parkway Estates is an enclave of 1,140 homes located in Sacramento, California. The neighborhood, its three parks and elementary school are roughly bounded by Southgate Plaza on Florin Road to the north, Franklin Boulevard to the west, Highway 99 to the east and Florin Creek to the south.. Established in the mid-1950s, Parkway Estates hosted the 1954 Parade of Homes, at that time the largest home-building exposition ever held in the West. The popular event, drawing thousands of spectators, showcased upscale, contemporary homes representing the best in efficient planning, design and construction during the post-war era. Today the neighborhood, shaded by tall trees on large lots with ample lawns, retains the small-town feel and values of decades past. And that sense of community is apparent at neighborhood association meetings, where locals regularly participate. |
