Santa Rita Ranch is a quiet community which offers several large common areas with sidewalk paths for a leisurely stroll, tot parks with swings and slides, a volleyball court, soccer fields, a baseball park and basketball courts. The soccer field is also used by youth sports teams as a practice field and occasionally there will be community events or even “movie in the park night”.

The general area has seen much development in the way of stores and restaurants. Bashas’, Albertsons and Wal Mart are within a short distance as is CVS and Fresh & Easy.
