Northwest Auburn may stretch along the Sierra Nevada Foothills from north to south, but its commercial and residential features go from east to west. Its eastern border is densely lined with restaurants, shopping centers, businesses and government offices. However, moving west, the area becomes increasingly residential, with planned cul-de-sac streets and spacious rural properties.

Homes

Housing in Northwest Auburn comes in various styles, including New Traditional, Contemporary, ranch, and California craftsman. Homes typically cost between $520,000 and $850,000 for three to four bedrooms and come with wide paved driveways that lead to multi-car garages. Greenery is diverse, with some residences hidden behind heavily forested lawns and others on full display with minimalist manicured grass plots. Family farms, personal vineyards and desert landscaping are common sights on the neighborhood’s outskirts.

There are also 55 and up mobile home communities throughout Northwest Auburn. Golden Chain, Edgewood and Rock Creek Mobile Home Parks list two-bed, two-bath homes for anywhere between $30,000 and $165,000.

Schools

Students can begin their education at Auburn Elementary School, which has a C rating on Niche. The school has many annual traditions that students can participate in, such as their Fall Festival, Panther Dash and year-end staff versus fifth-grade kickball game. Older students generally move on to EV Cain Middle School, which has a C-plus Niche rating, followed by Placer High School, which earns an A-minus from Niche for its AP and gifted program.

Parks

Regional Park is the neighborhood’s primary green space. It features a large duck pond, two playgrounds, picnic tables, four tennis courts and a free disc golf course. Joanne “Jo” Barragan, Real Estate Broker Associate at eXp Realty of California and 20-year local, says the park is also popular for community activities and events. “Kids will play soccer there on Saturdays. It’s where I used to play softball, too. They even hold concerts there sometimes by the big lake, and they just held the All American Rib Cookoff there this past spring.”

Atwood Park is a smaller but locally loved residential park. A children’s playground with benches and a small bridge leads toward a duck pond hidden by lush trees and full shrubs.

Shopping and Dining

Northwest Auburn brings a lot to the table when it comes to dining. Stop by Mission Coffee, the self-proclaimed heart of North Auburn, for a warm cup of joe or dig into hearty Southern-style barbeque at Sierra Grill Smokehouse. When happy hour hits, Rebellion Brewing Company has a variety of craft beer on tap and canned in-house. Right outside the neighborhood, Mt. Vernon Winery is a favorite of local wine enthusiasts. This family-run business offers a wide selection of wines and a patio for tastings with a sprawling view of the vineyards.

There are plenty of retail options, too. Barragan says, “Northwest Auburn is where you’re going to find all your big box stores and chains. All your shopping is up there.” National brands like Target, Ulta Beauty and Ross can be found in the Crossroads and Rock Creek Plaza shopping centers, while local brands like Bel Air grocery are in the Auburn Village strip mall. Residents can also explore 49er Flea Market and its rotating list of local vendors on the first Saturday of every month.

Transportation

State Route 49 is the main thoroughfare of Northwest Auburn. Commuting locals can take Route 49 onto Interstate 80 and be downtown within 30 minutes. Residents can access public transportation through Placer County Transit, a fixed bus route, or Dial-A-Ride, a curb-to-curb driving service. The Placer Commuter Express is also an option for those who work downtown; Monday through Friday, this commuter bus service takes locals from all over Western Placer County to downtown Sacramento and back.

Auburn Municipal Airport is 3 1/2 miles from the neighborhood and offers locals access to air ambulances, flight instruction, private charters and scenic tours.

Important to Know

Many government and county service offices are clustered in the center of the neighborhood. The Placer County Sheriff’s Office is based in Northwest Auburn, as well as the Auburn Jail and Placer County Probation Juvenile Detention Facility.

Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital is also located within the neighborhood and provides residents with same-day walk-ins, urgent and emergency care, virtual consultations and lab work.
