Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
This is Laguna Ridge proper, the Madeira subdivisions that went up around Elk Grove's new civic center. The blocks between Elk Grove Boulevard and Willard Parkway are modern and energy-efficient, and the area was planned with parks built in rather than bolted on later, including the Cresleigh and Harvest Park greens stitched through it. The pull is District56, the 56-acre civic hub a short hop east on Big Horn Boulevard, with the Elk Grove Aquatics Center, the Commons, and the Veterans complex already open and a library and performing arts center planned. That gives this end of town a center of gravity the older Laguna pockets never had. What it does not have yet is age. The trees are young, the look runs new-build uniform, and weekend traffic around Elk Grove Boulevard is real. But if you want to be inside Elk Grove's newest planned core, walkable to a civic plaza and a pool complex instead of just another strip center, the Franklin Boulevard side of Laguna Ridge is where that lives.
