Boulevard Park, Sacramento, California

Boulevard Park is a historic residential neighborhood in Sacramento, California.

[2] The new subdivision of Boulevard Park, the second subdivision after Oak Park but the first within city limits, was originally formed on what was previously the old state fairgrounds and its racetrack.

After World War II, many original homeowners of the subdivision sold their homes and moved into newer suburbs, altering the atmosphere of the neighborhood as some of the new landlords used the homes as boarding houses.

[4] Urban renewal in the 1970s reclaimed the Boulevard Park area and homes were restored to their former architectural glory.

Today, the subdivision consists of about 300 buildings and it is the largest neighborhood in Sacramento on the National Register of Historic Places.
