Buying and selling a home in Dixon

A small Solano County town with deep agricultural roots, a historic downtown and the Dixon May Fair.

A small town with deep agricultural roots

Dixon has a small-town feel and a long agricultural history, with a historic downtown at its center. Farming and the railroad helped shape the town, and you can still see that in the surrounding farmland and the local traditions. One of its best-known events is the Dixon May Fair, which celebrates the area's agricultural heritage.

Downtown's historic buildings and local businesses feel different from the newer neighborhoods on the edges of town. I'm Adriana Cueva, a bilingual REALTOR® with Realty ONE Group FOX, and I help buyers and sellers in Dixon from my office in Vacaville.

The homes in Dixon

Dixon's housing runs from older properties near downtown to established neighborhoods of single-story ranch homes and larger two-story homes. A substantial portion was built in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, with more construction in the 2000s and more recent development in communities such as Homestead.

That gives buyers a mix of established homes and newer floor plans to weigh, depending on how much they care about layout, outdoor space and maintenance.

Farm outings, history and community events

For things to do, Dixon has seasonal farm outings, local history and community events. Cool Patch Pumpkins is a well-known fall stop for pumpkin picking and a large corn maze. The Dixon Historical Society Museum and the historical displays at Pardi Plaza show more of the town's past. Vacaville is close by for dining, shopping and exploring, so Dixon suits someone who likes an agricultural setting with a larger city within reach.
