Buying Near Mather Airport? County Warns of Cargo Flights, Night Noise and Airport Disclosures

MATHER, Sacramento County — Prospective homebuyers near Mather Airport should review the county airport’s noise and land-use disclosure information before committing to a property, particularly in neighborhoods beneath cargo and training flight paths.

Sacramento County’s airport department notes that Mather has two runways and hosts general aviation, helicopters, military training and commercial cargo flights. It specifically identifies some cargo and military operations at night as important considerations for residents near the field.

The county’s airport planning materials address noise insulation standards and other real-estate disclosure considerations for certain properties. This does not mean every house in the area has the same noise exposure or that all homes are subject to the same conditions. Flight paths, altitude and schedules vary by aircraft and operation.

Practical information for residents

Homebuyers can review airport policy maps and disclosures, visit the property at different times of day and ask the county or a qualified adviser which recorded conditions apply. Noise concerns should be investigated before purchase rather than inferred from a single quiet afternoon.
