Buying or Selling a home in Phoenix Field, Fair Oaks, CA.

The Phoenix Field neighborhood of Fair Oaks is one of Fair Oak's finest. With nearly 500 homes, it's big enough to have it's own distinct personality, but small enough for neighbors to know each other. It's old enough to have mature landscaping, yet knew enough to have homes with contemporary design and high ceilings.

The homes of Phoenix Field were built on the former Phoenix Field airstrip - home of the Phoenix Flying Club. Private planes would buzz in and out of Fair Oaks on its 2600 ft landing strip from the mid-40's until homes were constructed in the late 80's.

Directly South is Phoenix Park, a multipurpose park featuring soccer and little league fields, a playground, picnic areas, a community garden and a very poppular dog park. Gorgeous vernal pools transform the Eastern edge of the park into a fascinating natural area. That's it on the left.

The lots are in the 1/5th to 1/3 acre range, with homes averaging 2600 or so square feet. 14 homes sold in 2007, 5 homes sold in 2008, and to date, midway through 2009, 4 homes have closed escrow, and another is pending. Over the past few years, prices have mostly been in the $500K - $700K range, although today's prices are in the $350K - $650K range. '09 sales have averaged $483,000, or $169 per foot.
