do you want to consider El Dorado hills (close to Folsom), also?
Very nice and safe area, good schools, nice stores, city, hills or lake view(Folsom is more flat and has a lot of electrical pols)...

And the housing prices look comparable, if not lower than Granite Bay.

We would like a larger lot, from about a 1/4 acre to 1/3 acre or so (larger if possible), but we'd really like something in an area that has mature trees and yet, is considered a little more "high end" - meaning, neighborhoods where you can really see the pride of ownership. We don't mind newer developments, so long as they have plenty of mature trees mixed in with the new ones. A good example of this in Granite Bay is the Ashley Woods and Johnson Ranch area, where they built newer homes among lots of mature trees (I'm a huge fan of the Hidden Lakes area in Granite Bay, very lush). We'd prefer some spacing between the houses if possible, but it's not critical. What's most important is that we're in the best school districts, and freeway access isn't all that important. Ideally, we'd like to find a home in need of some TLC in a good area that we can get a deal on and fix up over time - something in the $350-450k range if possible. Can anyone recommend some neighborhoods and point out where they can be found on a map?
that was our criteria, also.
we moved here (El Dorado Hills) last year. we bought a house with city view, .5 ac, needed some TLC for 350 k, plenty of mature trees, close to the lake also.
People are walking and jogging all the times on the streets, is a safe area.

check Ridgeview village area or 95762 (no HOA, no Melo Roos).

In my oppinion is better than Granite Bay
