Joel Parker Whitney’s vision

In 1852, 17-year-old Joel Parker Whitney and his family purchased large stretches of land that comprise present-day Rocklin, the city in which Whitney Oaks takes root. From serving as their thriving ranching ground to now housing over 5,000 residents, Whitney Oaks continues to draw homebuyers with its scenic landscapes and serene residential streets. "It's probably the most prestigious neighborhood in Rocklin, especially because of the golf club," says Beth Conway, Realtor at Intero Real Estate Services who has sold homes in the area. "When people envision moving to Rocklin, they think of Whitney Oaks."

State-of-the-art schooling for Whitney Oaks students

Whitney Oaks’ schools are under the Rocklin Unified School District. Conway shares, “All three of my kids attended Rocklin schools, kindergarten through high school. We moved to Rocklin specifically so our kids could attend the schools.” Valley View Elementary School is known for its unique Art Docent program, which provides students with art history lessons and challenges them to apply historical techniques to their work. Granite Oaks Middle School offers the prestigious C-STEM program, a computing module in collaboration with UC Davis, which is also recognized by the University of California admissions department. Rocklin High School's Career Technical Education (CTE) program allows students to prepare for various professions, such as video production, engineering and business. All three schools earned an A score on Niche.

Golfing at the elite Whitney Oaks Golf Club

Whitney Oaks boasts over 200 acres of trails and wetlands. Visitors can use these trails for intensive training, like half marathoning, or to take pets on a quiet morning stroll. However, trailgoers should be careful not to venture into unmarked areas, as the woodlands are full of wildlife, including rattlesnakes. McCormick Park is a favorite among hikers and bikers because of its well-established and multi-faceted trail system. However, the most sought-after outdoor spot is Boulder Ridge Park, which offers sprawling views of Mount Diablo and the snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains. It also features a large duck pond, paved walking trails and a playground. Seasoned and aspiring golfers visit Whitney Oaks Golf Club, an 18-hole, 6,800-yard course that takes an expansive portion of the neighborhood’s center. Players of all skill levels are accommodated here, and the course’s natural landscape is home to many native plants and animals, such as mallards, wild turkeys, coyotes and deer. Conway says, “The turkeys will actually fly up into the oak trees at night to sleep, so people who live on the hillside have to deal with turkey noise. People don’t mind it too much, though, because it’s just part of living here!”

Laidback eats nearby, downtown digs 5 miles away

Whitney Oaks is strictly a residential area, so residents need to travel outside the neighborhood’s boundaries to shop and dine. A little under 2 miles away is The Shops at Stanford Ranch, where locals can buy groceries at Save Mart or have a laidback meal at CJ’s Pizza Bar & Grill. However, many people make the 5-mile trip into Downtown Rocklin to peruse a wider selection of shops and restaurants. Venita Rhea’s cozy French countryside motifs invite customers to wake up slowly as they dine on American breakfast classics. Kathrin's Biergarten hosts a spacious open-air patio with fairy lights where locals can be seen munching on German-style dishes paired with house brews. People also like to catch movies at Studio Movie Grill, play the lanes at AMF Rocklin Lanes or zipline through the trees at Quarry Park Adventures.

Getting around via State Route 65 and Interstate 80

Most Whitney Oaks residents rely on cars to get around. California State Route 65 and Interstate 80 are 5 miles away, connecting residents to surrounding communities. The neighborhood's secluded location makes public transportation inaccessible, though bike lanes are paved in abundance. The neighborhood is also roughly 30 miles from Sacramento International Airport.
