"Lady Bird" and Sacramento: A Story That Hits Home for Tom Gonsalves
By Gonsalves Real Estate Properties
Greta Gerwig’s Oscar-nominated film Lady Bird is a heartfelt love letter to Sacramento—its neighborhoods, its people, and its undeniable charm. For many locals, watching the movie is like flipping through a photo album of familiar places: the Tower Bridge, the Fab 40s, the American River, and the streets we drive every day. But for Sacramento real estate expert Tom Gonsalves, Lady Bird hits even closer to home—literally.
One of the most iconic locations in the film is the blue house on 44th Street, which symbolizes everything the main character, Lady Bird, longs for. What many don’t know is that this home was built by Tom’s wife’s grandfather—a piece of family history captured forever on film. It’s a beautiful intersection of Sacramento heritage and cinematic storytelling.
Tom Gonsalves’ personal connection to Lady Bird doesn’t stop there. He also represented the sale of another prominent home featured in the film, located on 45th Street in East Sacramento’s famed Fab 40s. This historic home, like many in the neighborhood, stands as a testament to Sacramento’s timeless architecture and charm—something Tom has specialized in throughout his 20+ year career.
As one of Sacramento’s top real estate brokers, Tom Gonsalves not only knows the city—he’s part of its story. Whether you’re buying a home in East Sacramento, selling a landmark property, or just want to learn more about the neighborhoods that made Lady Bird unforgettable, Tom is the local expert who brings knowledge, integrity, and deep-rooted community ties to every transaction.
