A name with a story behind it

What actually makes Foothill Farms different?

A misleading name, an Air Force legacy, and a practical, no-frills housing stock.

Not actually in the foothills

The name dates back to how the community was originally marketed, not its geography. Foothill Farms sits flat on the valley floor, nowhere near an actual foothill.

Built around a former Air Force base

McClellan Air Force Base anchored the local economy for decades before closing in 2001, and the area is still adjusting as McClellan Park redevelops the old base into something new.

Post-war tract housing, no frills

Most of Foothill Farms went up quickly in the 1950s as modest, working-class subdivisions built for returning veterans and base workers alike.

Watt Avenue and Auburn Boulevard cross here

The two corridors run through the community without a single defined downtown or village center, just a practical residential grid.

Flat valley floor, familiar pattern

Foothill Farms doesn't have its own rain gauge, but there's nothing about its flat, low-lying setting that would set it apart from the rest of the valley: long dry months, followed by a sharp winter spike.

"Dunzo showed up when they said they would, photographed every issue, and gave us one price before starting. The gutters look new and the downspouts finally drain away from the house."

01Is Foothill Farms actually near any foothills?

Not really. The name goes back to how the area was originally marketed, not its geography. It sits flat on the valley floor, bordering Citrus Heights and Carmichael.

02What does gutter cleaning typically cost in Foothill Farms?

Most homes run $150 to $400, usually starting around $249. Post-war tract homes here tend to have simple rooflines, which often keeps the price toward the lower end. A free inspection confirms the exact number.

03Does the old McClellan Air Force Base affect anything about service in the area?

Not directly, though McClellan Park's redevelopment has brought some newer construction into a mostly older neighborhood, so we see a real mix of roof ages on a typical street.

04Homes here seem smaller than in some of your other service areas. Does that change pricing?

It usually works in your favor. Smaller, single-story homes with straightforward rooflines are often quicker and cheaper to service than larger custom builds.

05Foothill Farms borders Citrus Heights. Are they the same place?

No, they're separate communities. Citrus Heights incorporated as its own city in 1997, while Foothill Farms remained unincorporated Sacramento County with a distinctly older, more modest housing stock.
