Open House October 10 – 1386 Trailwood Avenue, Manteca, CA

Open House Details

Nestled on Manteca’s sought-after south side near Woodward Park, this pocket of the Primavera at Woodward Park area blends quiet, residential streets with easy access to everyday conveniences. Stockton is about 20–25 minutes to the north, while many residents make the 60–70 minute drive west to the East Bay and Tri‑Valley job centers, appreciating the calmer, family-focused feel they come home to. The neighborhood has the feel of an established community where kids ride bikes to the park and neighbors actually know each other’s names.

Schools & Education — This area is served by Manteca Unified School District, with Woodward Elementary School (K–8) just a few minutes away, a popular choice for families on the south side. Nearby Manteca High School, one of the district’s flagship campuses, serves grades 9–12 and offers a range of academic and athletic programs. Families also look to Veritas Elementary and Sequoia Elementary in adjacent neighborhoods, as well as private options like St. Anthony’s School closer to central Manteca. Access to multiple campuses within a short drive makes school drop-offs and after-school activities relatively straightforward.

Parks & Recreation — Woodward Park is the heart of recreation in this part of Manteca, and it’s right around the corner. Residents head there for its large open fields, playgrounds, walking paths, baseball and soccer fields, and the wide greenbelt that’s busy with joggers and dog walkers in the evenings. The nearby Tidewater Bikeway, accessible a short drive away, offers a paved trail that runs through town for longer walks, runs, or bike rides. On weekends, many locals venture a bit farther out to Caswell Memorial State Park along the Stanislaus River for shaded picnics, swimming spots, and nature walks under the oaks.

Shopping & Dining — Daily errands are easy with the South Main Street corridor just a few minutes away, where you’ll find Safeway, Save Mart, and Target for groceries and essentials. For dining, locals frequent spots like Las Casuelas for Mexican, Pete’s Restaurant & Brewhouse near Highway 120, and Ernie’s Food & Spirits for a more upscale night out. The Promenade Shops at Orchard Valley, anchored by big-box retailers, restaurants, and the AMC movie theater, sit just off the 120 Bypass about 5–10 minutes from the neighborhood. Historic downtown Manteca, roughly a 10-minute drive, adds a small-town main street feel with local cafes, bakeries, and family-owned eateries.

Commute & Transportation — One of the biggest draws of this south Manteca location is its quick access to the Highway 120 Bypass, which connects directly to Highway 99 and Interstate 5. Commuters heading to Stockton or Modesto typically reach those cities in about 20–30 minutes, while those driving to Tracy, Lathrop, or the I‑580 interchange for Bay Area jobs appreciate the relatively direct route. ACE train stations in Lathrop/Manteca and Tracy are popular alternatives for rail commuters heading toward the Tri‑Valley and Silicon Valley. Sacramento International Airport and Oakland International Airport are both commonly used, each generally about 70–90 minutes away depending on traffic.

Community & Lifestyle — The Primavera at Woodward Park area has a distinctly residential, neighborly vibe, with well-kept sidewalks, front yards, and a steady mix of original owners and newer families moving in. Many homes are part of newer subdivisions built around the draw of Woodward Park, so you’ll see strollers, joggers, and kids walking to the playground most afternoons. Community sports leagues, school events, and city-sponsored activities at nearby parks keep calendars full without having to leave town. It’s the kind of south Manteca pocket where people wave when they drive by, weekend barbecues are common, and the pace feels a bit slower than the bigger cities many residents commute to during the week.
