Rolling landscapes and family-friendly living in Blackstone
Newly built homes line the streets of Blackstone, a sprawling suburban community of El Dorado Hills that’s surrounded by rolling meadows and Northern California scenery. It’s one of the city’s newest communities and consists of more than 1,400 homes built within the last two decades. Residents are only 2 miles from shops and restaurants in El Dorado Hills Town Center, and 30 miles from Downtown Sacramento, making for a manageable commute. “There’s a real sense of community. You’ve got young families, retirees and parks and schools right in the neighborhood,” says broker Angela Dameri of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, who lives in El Dorado Hills. “It feels like a little island on its own.”
Blackstone is a relatively new community in El Dorado Hills.

Hillside streets with bucolic views and clubhouse perks
Blackstone offers a wide range of home styles and floor plans, with everything from modest ranch-style homes to contemporary and luxury estates. “There are a lot of Mediterranean-style homes, especially those built in the early 2000s. But you’ll find some contemporary homes as well,” Dameri says. Curved streets wind across the hillsides, and some homes get wide views of the surrounding countryside. Prices range from around $700,000 to $1.5 million, depending on the size of the home. Monthly payments to the Blackstone HOA are a requirement. Another perk for residents is the neighborhood's centrally located clubhouse, which features three swimming pools, outdoor patios and a gym. “The clubhouse is beautiful. It’s basically a community center,” Dameri says.
The Blackstone community clubhouse offers extensive amenities, including multiple pools.
Mediterranean-style homes are a mainstay in Blackstone.

Safety scores are strong, though wildfires are a concern
Safety is also a draw for new residents. The neighborhood gets a 1 out of 10 CAP Index score, compared to 4 nationally. Wildfires, however, are a risk for this area. El Dorado County was the site of the Caldor Fire in 2021, which burned more than 220,000 acres in the region and destroyed more than 1,000 structures, though it did not reach El Dorado Hills. The county has taken action to prevent fires, including offering grant funding to help people create defensible space around their homes and offering information to residents about fortifying their homes with fire-resistant materials.
Two neighborhood parks and lakefront trails nearby
Two parks are easily accessible to Blackstone residents. Valley View Sports Park sits adjacent to Valley View Charter Montessori school and features a playground, walking path and several sports fields. Blackstone Park is perched on a hill and has a winding trail, picnic area, and play structures for kids. Popular outdoor destinations are found about 10 miles north on the shores of Folsom Lake. Waterfront scenery is a highlight for the parks here, including Folsom Point State Park, Browns Ravine Recreation Area and the Johnny Cash Trail.
The playground at Blackstone Park is a great place for local children and their loved ones to play outdoors.
