El Dorado Hills, California is nestled halfway between the San Francisco Bay Area and the scenic
Lake Tahoe Basin. As a result of careful planning, wonderful views of both the Sierra Nevada
Mountains and the Sacramento Valley, and recreation choices at nearby Folsom Lake, El Dorado
Hills has become one of Northern California’s most prestigious residential communities, and is
recognized nationally for its high quality of life ranking 77th in Money Magazine’s “Best 100
Places to Live” in 2007. El Dorado Hills is the largest community in El Dorado County, and is part
of the Sacramento Metropolitan Area just 22 miles from Sacramento and has a current population
of over 35,000 residents.
This is an area of amazing growth and economic development. An important part of El Dorado
Hills’ future is the 885-acre El Dorado Hills Business Park where many of California’s thriving
firms have relocated. The Business Park is home to many businesses that are major employers
throughout the county and city and currently has over 4,000 employees. Located near the Business
Park is Blue Shield of California that also has over 1000 employees and is a major business in El
Dorado Hills. Within 6 miles of El Dorado Hills is Intel Computer Center. Intel employs over
6500 people and is a great addition to the community with its highly skilled labor force.
A plethora of history and a wide variety of recreational choices provides something for everyone.
These choices may include gold panning at nearby Marshall Gold Discovery Site in Coloma,
whitewater rafting on the American River, alpine skiing in the Sierras, camping, fishing, golfing,
biking the many country roads, water sports and camping at Folsom Lake as well as hiking trails
around the lake. Folsom Lake has seventy-seven miles of shoreline and is one of the most heavily
used recreational areas in the state. With elevations ranging from 200 feet to over 10,800 feet, there
is tremendous diversity and much to discover throughout El Dorado County. Residents enjoy
outlet shopping in nearby Folsom, taking in a movie at the new theater complex, or a morning
outing at the farmers market in The Town Center. An afternoon excursion to the many local
wineries that have become famous in the county is very popular, as well as Apple Hill, for its farms,
bake shops, and breweries.
A restaurant experience in El Dorado Hills can be as diverse and unique as the myriad of
recreational and attractions offered in the area. Whether you are in the mood for leisurely dining
on French cuisine, a down-home barbeque, an evening in a Mexican Cantina, or a sampling of
foods of the Orient, you can find it in El Dorado Hills.
High per capita income, along with low crime rates, and excellent schools have all attributed to
many new families and businesses relocating to this vibrant and desirable destination. As the name
“El Dorado” implies, this is a land of golden opportunity!
