I like the nature around the town, it is also near a lake, Folsom Lake, meaning there are many recreational activities to do. However, housing pricing is way too much. Even renting a house is too expensive. Do NOT come here if you are not financially stable. The schools are nice though and offer many subjects, especially the high school, ORHS. There are bike paths on nearly all streets, the same goes with pedestrian trails. There are nice restaurants in Town Center, but it lacks social activities, unless you are at the lake. There are lots of green parks, however.
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.
El Dorado Hills is a very family friendly community. It is a suitable location for raising a family, but severely lacks in diversity. Growing up, my parents had access to a great public high school, but it was difficult to find more people like me. Overall, El Dorado Hills is a safe, suburban city, but is closed off from perspectives from other cities. To improve the dynamic of this community, we need to introduce diverse cultures and share outside experiences with our residents.
