Historic Roseville has a quaint downtown area with a new civic center, classic movie theatre and local shopping with antique stores and assorted local vendors. They host an Art Walk every 3rd Saturday from spring to fall and there are a variety of street fairs that support charities and special events during the summer months.
Granite Bay is the bedroom community located next to Roseville and was once part of this city. It is similar to El Dorado Hills in that it has a more affluent population and caters to the upper end real estate shopper. The private Granite Bay Golf Club is located in the middle of this lovely area and is available for special events.
West Roseville offers incredible shopping thanks to the Galleria. When this mall opened in the early 2000s, it was showcased as one of the newest concepts in shopping mall design. The expansion has yet to be complete with an additional wing just opening called the Fountains. Located across from the main mall this new center offers Whole Foods as the main anchor.
East Roseville offers a more tranquil setting with established neighborhoods and easy access to Folsom Lake. Homes on acreage are still available and working farms offer roadside produce that get plenty of business from the locals. On the weekends, you will see bicycle clubs riding along Auburn-Folsom Road with both types of bikes sharing the road.
This northern section of the Sacramento valley offers virtually every sport imaginable and is located within 1.5hrs drive to some of the world’s best winter sports in Lake Tahoe. If you are considering a relocation please give me a call and I’ll be happy to get you started.
