Settling in Central Rocklin

Just over 20 miles to the northeast of Sacramento is Central Rocklin, a changing neighborhood that is big on convenience. “It’s an easy place to live,” says Mairin Haley of Compass Realty, who has over 10 years of experience selling homes in the Sacramento area. “But the neighborhood is rapidly becoming more upper-middle class with the newer homes being luxury builds that are over $1 million.” Many enjoy the short distance to Sacramento and use Interstate 80 to commute into the state’s capital for work. Located in the City of Rocklin, Central Locklin residents enjoy the mild temperatures associated with the Sacramento area, a strong school district and plenty of convenient shopping and dining options.

Homes over $1 million

Many of the homes in Central Rocklin were built in the 1950s and 60s. However, newer homes are springing up throughout the neighborhood. Prices range from around $600,000 to over $1 million for a newer build. The majority of older homes in the area are three-bedroom ranch-style builds, while larger Craftsman houses are the popular design of the more modern homes. The houses are situated off of busy highways and rest on quiet residential streets. The wide sidewalks make it easy for dog walking, and the majority of the homes have private yards. Houses come with multi-car garages, which make parking easy.
