What is the El Dorado Hills real estate market like?
El Dorado Hills is a largely master-planned community on the western edge of El Dorado County, just over the line from Folsom and Sacramento County. Its best-known neighborhoods — including the gated Serrano golf community — sit among rolling oak-covered hills, and the open-air El Dorado Hills Town Center anchors much of the area's shopping and dining.
Because it pairs newer construction and Highway 50 commuter access with foothill scenery, El Dorado Hills tends to sit toward the higher end of the El Dorado County market. Homes range from townhomes and standard subdivisions to large custom estates along the golf course and ridgelines.
