cell tower land park sacramentoThe Land Park Community Association was all for the cell tower going up west of Riverside in the cemetery. They didn't want the cell tower on the other side "where everybody could see it." That's because we don't want the wealthier residents of Land Park to be forced to stare at the cell tower. It's much better to stick it on the side of Land Park where the poor people live. Where people who live in the low-income housing units or drive up or walk down Muir Way have to look at it.cell tower land park sacramento without branches

However, as cell towers, go, it's not bad. Although I live and work in Land Park, I do have a few listings in Antelope. That's because as a busy Land Park agent, I also sell a lot of short sales in Sacramento. It's the nature of our economy at the moment. To reach this listing in Antelope, I have to drive north on Walerga from Greenback. There is an awful looking cell tower there. Looks like something from outer space.

But here in Land Park Sacramento, our cell tower is somewhat camouflaged. I mean, nobody will mistake it for a pine tree, but it's not staring you in the face. And at least when I am west of Riverside, maybe T-Mobile won't drop my cell phone calls.

That is actually a pretty good camouflage job.  We have one on the Hutchison River Parkway that is a much poorer attempt at green.

Does the cell tower on Hutchison River look like something from outer space? I agree that this cell tower is much more attractive than its earlier version.

Holy cow I think that's awesome.  Down in San Diego they look like giant metal palms (pretty weird), but here we just have plain old ugly.

Elizabeth - That's the best camouflaged cell tower I've ever seen.

I think the cell towers that are camouflaged as trees are great.  Especially the ones that are along highways in the California National Forests, etc.

Yeah, it's a little lopsided but if you didn't know it was there, you probably would not notice it. Having other trees around it helps somewhat as well. It might stand out in stark contrast if it was along the side of the road or in the middle of a shopping center.

After all, the one thing we have an abundance of in Land Park -- besides NIMBY -- is trees.

Hey, maybe my service in South Land Park will improve!  I'm in one of those little black holes of cell service.  Sometimes it works, sometimes is doesn't.      Have to admit, I favor the pine tree look over the palm trees.

I've seen some up close, and would say that they look way better (more realisitic) from far away.
