El Dorado Hills · El Dorado County · Market Report
Rolling foothills east of Folsom, master-planned neighborhoods, and the open-air Town Center — here's how the El Dorado Hills market is moving and what it means for buyers and sellers.
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.

El Dorado Hills grew from open foothill ranch land into one of the region's signature master-planned communities, taking shape from the 1960s onward and accelerating as Highway 50 made the Folsom-to-Placerville corridor commutable. The gated Serrano community and the open-air Town Center turned it into a destination of its own on the western edge of El Dorado County.
An open-air district of shops, restaurants, a movie theater, and seasonal events and concerts.
Boating, sailing, and the area's largest marina just minutes away on Folsom Lake.
