Phoenix Field, Fair Oaks California is a wonderful place to live!

Are you interested in learning about properties in the Phoenix Field area of Fair Oaks California?  There are some really beautiful homes here and the Phoenix Field neighborhood includes one of the best parks in Sacramento County, with one of the few remaining protected vernal pools in the country.

The area has a fascinating history.  It was developed on land that used to be a general aviation airport serving our area. The exact beginning of the airport is a little vague, but what we do know is that is was opened some time between 1946 and 1948, because it was not depicted on the September 1946 Sectional Chart, but it was on the 1948 chart, which described it as having a 2,200' unpaved runway. 

The field was labeled as "Fair Oaks-Phoenix" on the March 1954 USAF Sacramento Sectional Chart.  You can read some really interesting history of the flying lessons, changes in ownership, and the operation of the air field through the years at a website about Abandoned and Little Known Airports in the Sacramento area.

By 1987 the air field fell out of use and developers finally took over the weed-strewn area that had been used for a few years as a dirt bike riding park.  Years later they began building what is now known as the Phoenix Field residential area, with all of the streets given aeronautical names in honor of the old field.

You will find streets with names like Runway, Approach, Propeller, Flyway, Kitty Hawk, Airport, Aileron, Wingtip, and others. 

At the time of this writing, there are 8 homes for sale in the Phoenix Field development, priced from $209,500 to $450,000.

Here is a video I took driving through a little bit of the area, showing some of the homes, Little Phoenix Park, which is a neighborhood pocket park, and the large Phoenix Park across Sunset Avenue from the homes.

One of my favorite things to do is to take an hour break in the day and to walk through the park and enjoy the beauty and wildlife in the vernal pools area.  It’s also fun to visit the specially designated Fair Oaks dog park in one set aside part of Phoenix Park.
