Modern Traditional homes of Plumas Lake
Plumas Lake was master-planned and built out by a developer, so the community has a uniform look. Modern Traditional homes with Spanish elements like stucco and tile roofs sit side by side on neat green lawns. Sidewalks trace past these homes, connecting neighbors. “It’s mostly newer homes,” says Desiree Hastey, owner and broker at Plumas Lake Properties, who has been selling homes in the area for over ten years. “The oldest house in Plumas Lake was built in 2004.” Plumas Lake houses sell from $400,000 to $660,000, depending on the size of the house and its yard. “It’s a more affordable area than Sacramento or Roseville, so a lot of people who work in Sacramento or Roseville buy in Plumas Lake,” says Janae Morris, Realtor with Nexthome Campbell Realty who has previously worked in the area. “You can get a nice home at a great price, and it’s easy to commute.”

Traveling out of Plumas Lake for shopping and dining
“The one downside is that there really aren’t amenities,” says Hastey. “There’s no grocery store, so be prepared to drive. There’s a Costco about 15 minutes up the road where a lot of people like to stock up.” The Costco in Linda is 10 miles north. Visitors will also find local and chain restaurants.
