Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Lake Hills Estates sits at the far north end of El Dorado Hills, on high ground that runs toward Folsom Lake and the marina at Brown's Ravine. It borders Waterford and the gated Summit, and it shares their upscale foothill character: larger homes on generous lots, oaks left standing, and streets that climb for the view. The pull here is proximity to the water. The Folsom Lake State Recreation Area and its boat ramps are close, a rare thing to have essentially at the top of your street, and the terrain keeps the setting green and private. Everyday shopping means a drive back down toward the boulevard. The honest note is that this northern edge is among the more removed positions in town, so a commute west onto Highway 50 adds minutes, and the hilly lots come at a premium. For buyers who want lake access and established, spacious homes over walkable retail, Lake Hills Estates is one of the closest things El Dorado Hills has to a lakeside enclave.
