It's a drive to downtown
North Chico isn't walkable to the plaza or campus. If you want to be close to downtown nightlife or Chico State, this probably isn't your neighborhood. If you're fine commuting a few minutes by car, it's a non-issue.
Chico Neighborhoods
Amber Grove.
Quiet, suburban streets off Eaton Road in north Chico. Here's what it's actually like to live there.
What It's Like
North Chico, settled and suburban.
Amber Grove is a residential subdivision off Eaton Road in north Chico, part of a broader stretch of family-friendly streets that grew up in that corridor. Homes here are mostly single-family, on regular suburban lots, the kind of neighborhood built for people who want a quiet street and a yard without being far from town.
It's a bit removed from downtown, but Eaton Road gets you onto the Esplanade or out toward Highway 99 without much hassle, and north Chico's shopping and grocery options are close by. If you want distance from the busier, more walkable parts of town, this is a solid, unflashy option.

Confirm schools before you commit

Good fit for space and quiet
If a yard, a quiet street, and some separation from the busier parts of Chico matter more to you than walkability, this is a strong, practical pick.
