There are approximately 1,100 homes in the area with the majority having an average of three bedrooms, two baths and 1,200 square feet of living space.  There are also a number of multi-family units such as duplexes and triplexes as well as small apartment buildings.  There are also newer town homes and those featuring larger, more contemporary styles.  Homes along the perimeter of the neighborhood often back the breath-taking meadow and National Forest land bursting with nature, often featuring views of the surrounding mountain ranges.  The central area of the Sierra Tract consists primarily of homes on 5,000 square foot lots within a “typical block-style” neighborhood.  The Sierra Tract is ideal for those seeking entry level affordability.  Because of the area’s affordability, many first time home buyers and local residents moved into the Sierra Tract during the “boom” years.  As a result, the Sierra Tract enjoyed a resurgence of popularity and saw “face lifts” throughout the area.

City amenities such as shopping, dining and transportation are all within walking distance as well as the award winning Sierra House elementary school.   When looking for a neighborhood that is “easy” to live in and affordable, Sierra Tract is a neighborhood you will really want to explore.
