 neighbourhood, draw only border
Pocket-Greenhaven is a community within the city of Sacramento, California. It is bordered by Interstate 5 on the east and a bend in the Sacramento River on the south, west, and north.[1] The three exits into the Pocket-Greenhaven community off Interstate 5 are 43rd Avenue (southbound only), Florin Road, and Pocket/Meadowview Road. Entering the area from the south on Interstate 5, travelers pass a large water tower with the words "Sacramento, City Of Trees" painted on it, marking the southern boundary of the city of Sacramento as well as the Pocket-Greenhaven area.
Greenhaven was first developed as a planned community in 1962. Greenhaven Drive at Riverside Blvd was where a sales office was located to outline the community and to sell the homes which were semi-custom built. Dronberger, Harris and Parker were some of the first builders to the area. Greenhaven Drive was the major drive which ended at Moonlit Circle. In 1969, Greenhaven II was built along Riverside Blvd to the north. The Greenhaven area now has completely filled the entire area surrounded by the Sacramento River known as "The Pocket".

Comments

  • The pocket area is close to downtown Sacramento, perhaps 12 minutes driving, either by Interstate 5 or by side streets. It is mainly residential with single-family and duplex housing most common. Two shopping centers, and related businesses, server this area.
