Moving from the Bay Area (Santa Clara) 4 years ago we did a ton of research on areas near Folsom Lake. We fell in love with El Dorado Hills mostly because of the amazing neighborhoods, friendly people, endless recreational opportunities and great schools. We were getting very tired of the endless traffic, rude people, crappy public schools and EXPENSIVE homes in the Bay. El Dorado Hills has been a breath of fresh air! So much weight has lifted from our stressed out life in the Bay. Our favorite parts of El Dorado Hills now that we've lived here is the amazing community involvement and schools, all the recreation SOOO close by, biking, hiking, Folsom Lake boating, fishing, camping, wine tasting, fun community events, and the list goes on. Negatives PG&E, going solar though. Summer Afternoons can get HOT at times but it cools off at night and in the morning even mid-summer, it's really not bad at all. Google James Peterson El Dorado Hills Realtor for some awesome area content.
If you want a place that has almost 100% safety, but will cost you an arm just to live here, then this is the place for you! We have a town center close by, as well as Folsom Lake and a few other events. However that is all there is to El Dorado Hills. It has only two races of people living here, and it’s hard to make any friends when your in your mid twenties. Although the job opportunities in Folsom are pretty good and pretty close.
We have lived in El Dorado Hills for over 10 years. It is a wonderful place to raise a family with plenty of recreational activities and excellent schools. Mostly an upper middle , conservative, educated population which is very refreshing to see in California! Love it here!
