Spanos Park is an exclusive neighborhood located in the northernmost area of Stockton and is divided into two regions, (1) Spanos Park East and (2) Spanos Park West, via 1-5 and Park West Place.
The neighborhood is characterized by its tranquil and exclusive suburban demeanor: s ...Read More
weeping boulevards lined by immaculate landscaping and trees, well-kept subdivisions (both gated and ungated), and statisically highly-rated schools at the elementary, middle, and high school levels in the Stockton and Lodi regions. The area is rather quiet, aside from the frequent sounds of nature that fill the air. A large levy to the south not only acts as a natural buffer from the rest of Stockton, but also provides fishing and leisurely activities on its well-paved trail/bike path. Apart from the southern region, the area is surrounded by agricultural fields which also play a role in Spanos Park's quiet, peaceful nature.
While Spanos Park East is the older of the two regions, the area boasts beautifully kempt residences and features Spanos Lake, several parks, and a clubhouse fitted with a pool, tennis courts, and foot access to the lake. The region houses two elementary schools, two middle schools, and the only high school in the Spanos Park area.
Spanos Park West, as mentioned, is the newer of the two regions. The area boasts similar amenities as its eastern counterpart, including several parks and a clubhouse fitted with a pool and tennis courts. The area features an elementary school near the westernmost border. The average home price in Spanos West is slightly higher than Spanos East, which can mostly be attributed to its newer houses and a more unified architectural theme between all the subdivisions.
Park West Place, an approximate 1,000,000 square feet of retail space nestled between the two regions, boasts a number of shopping, business, and dining amenities, including Target, a Walmart Supercenter (Don't worry, it isn't ghetto), Kohl's, a preschool, upper-end apartments/condos, and much more. In addition, an immaculate golf course, the Spanos Park Reserve, situates itself in close proximity on Eight Mile Road.
Overall, Spanos Park is one of the most desirable places to live in Stockton, next to Brookside and Lincoln Village proper. Come visit us and see for yourself!

Spanos Park was 2 parts: the East Park (east of I-5) and West Park (west of I-5).
The East Park is of inferior quality, amenities and shopping conveniences resembling typical sprawl at the edge of the city.
The West Park is much newer, nicer, full of amenities and shopping con ...Read More
veniences. Surely the place to be if given a choice between the 2 projects/phases. The West Park has a higher property value proposition and it's about 10 years newer than the East Park. The East Park blends with adjacent residential communities of different characteristics lacking an overall convincing planning design theme to unify the area into a coherent architectural/aesthetic statement.
The West Park stands alone without blending with older/different communities around it. Its future phases have a unified theme and it is much better planned in this regard.
In particular the West Park (not to be confused with Park West which is the name of 1,000,000 sq.ft. or retail space within the park acting as its retail component) is a mixed-use community at the edge of town w/ convenient freeway access.
The only oddity is an out of place office building at the southern edge of the park but other than this the overall theme is relaxing, full of nature's sights & sounds (birds singing, migratory routes et al). It's very quiet with the exception of occasional freeway noise due to prevailing sound carrying breezes. Lots of walkable, nicely landscaped paths. A great levy to the south acts as a combined trail/biking path. Surrounded by agricultural fields but with minimal disruptions (most annoying of which is a yearly ritual of spraying by noisy planes which we could certainly do with out).
The overall project deserves a better marketing name. It's a charming place in search of a better name. Should it had a better labeling it could have competed for second best place to live in Stockton. The current livability rankings give it a score of 74(#3) vs. Brookside 75(#2) vs. Lincoln Village proper 76 (#1). For the money it's probably the best place to live in Stockton but let's not sound too subjective. Feel free to rate it yourself after experiencing it (living in it for at least 2 days).
