Well-maintained community close to a greenbelt, park events
Just north of the hustle and bustle of Galleria Mall, residnets can take a breath in Sunset Whitney. This suburban community is known for its natural feel and shares its name with Sunset Whitney Recreation Area, a greenbelt that borders northernmost homes. Pines and oaks background Mediterranean architecture, and looping streets create tight circles of friends. “The major draw is the community and pride of ownership,” says Michael Lersch, the Vice President of Growth for Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. “People take care of their houses and their neighbors. People call the city if anything pops up, and there’s quite a lot of community involvement.” Events at Johnson-Springview Park bring this community and Rocklin neighbors together, in addition to highly rated food near the Galleria. Plus, all of its Rocklin Unified Schools are sought after.
Sunset Whitney is home to a large green belt that provides residents with a tranquil experience.

Big backyards in this 1980s neighborhood, natural views
“The backyards in this older part of Rocklin are on big lots, a quarter acre or more, versus the newer parts where everything’s close together,” says Realtor Michael Lersch. “The houses that border the greenbelt have a nice appeal with great views. Everything’s built in the 1980s and 90s, so some properties need love.” A result of the era, the architecture is mostly Mediterranean and Spanish with some mixed brick thrown in. Two-bed condos and townhomes are found in the central and southern parts of the neighborhood and range from $350,000 to $440,000. Three-bed ranch-styles go between $450,000 and $620,000; two-stories with four-beds can reach $875,000. Since properties are mostly the same age, buyers probably aren’t looking at build dates as much as they are square footage. The average home sells in just 24 days, quicker than the national average by 18 days.

All A’s: the highest-rated schools in Placer County
Northernmost students likely start at Cobblestone Elementary, rated an A by Niche. For their next step, Granite Oaks Middle gets an A and ranks second out of Placer County’s 36 public middle schools. Rocklin High earns another A and comes in at No. 4 of 20 for public high schools. The school got their first women’s wrestling state champion in 2024. Students in the south have a completely different progression, but their schools all get similar marks: Antelope Creek Elementary, Spring View Middle and Whitney High all receive A’s from Niche. The women’s basketball team for Whitney competed in the Girls California Live 23 tournament, which brought roughly a million-dollar boost to the local economy.

Sunset Whitney Recreation Area, Johnson-Springview Park
A refurbished golf course, Sunset Whitney Recreation Area weaves through northern neighborhoods, so its paved and dirt trails are accessible from backyards. “It’s pretty popular and it really ties the whole area together,” says Lersch. “Rocklin Quarry Park is near there, too, and its quarry has a zipline and rock climbing up the wall. They do concerts and a Christmas tree lighting out there.” Johnson-Springview Park is one of the biggest parks in Rocklin, and Sunset Whitney residents are right next door. Along its dirt trails, heritage oak trees provide shade, and water rolls along Antelope Creek. Its disc golf course weaves through open fields; its fenced-in dog park has obstacles for pups to jump across. When they’re not watching a Tri City Little League game, residents can attend the Rocklin Community Festival in May. This four-day event brings carnival rides and food vendors to the park, as well as a wine and beer garden.

Local favorites and the Westfield Galleria
Foodies are close to some of the most popular spots in Rocklin. “There’s a local breakfast place called Four Sisters Cafe that people really like, and it’s kind of a famous spot around here,” says Realtor Michael Lersch. “There’s also The Chef’s Table, where a bunch of chefs decided to start a smaller restaurant with really good food. People come from 60 miles all around for that place.” More options are just south at the Westfield Galleria, an indoor mall with over 200 restaurants and shops. Department and specialty clothing stores come together in this district, where Macy’s and Nordstrom are a short walk from Hollister.
