Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
The High Hand and Blue Goose fruit sheds still line the strip between Taylor Road and the Union Pacific tracks, and downtown Loomis, CA still behaves like the rail town Placer County grew up around. Taylor Road here is the old Highway 40 alignment, and the short commercial run is genuinely walkable, a rarity in this zip code. The Loomis Train Depot on Horseshoe Bar Road anchors summer concerts, with Blue Anchor Park and its spray pad next door. Del Oro High School holds a big campus on Taylor Road within the area, the Loomis Grammar School playground sits at King and Taylor, and Loomis Basin Community Park's ballfields are a quick run out King Road. Lots trend smaller and older here than the acreage surrounding town. You will hear the trains, full stop, and Taylor Road stacks up near the I-80 ramps at commute hours. That is the tax on living in the only part of Loomis where you can walk to coffee, and most residents pay it happily.
