Downtown Chico pairs English cottage-style homes shaded by mature sycamores with the city's commercial core, with Lower Bidwell Park, Mansion Park and the Esplanade at its edges.
What is Downtown Chico like?
Downtown Chico blends English cottage-style homes shaded by mature sycamores with the city's commercial core. Lower Bidwell Park sits at its edge, with Sycamore Pool, Salmon Hole and the open lawns of Cedar Grove. Nearby Mansion Park borders the historic Bidwell Mansion and the Esplanade, and local institutions like Shubert's Ice Cream and the Pageant Theatre are a walk away.
What should you know before buying here?
Walkability is the draw, so buyers here often trade lot size for location. Check parking, since older downtown-adjacent homes may have limited off-street spaces.
